Board approves renaming Frost Hall at Hillsborough High for alumnus Drew Esquivel
Summary
Trustees approved naming Frost Hall after alumnus Drew Esquivel to honor his academic and community contributions; district plans a January dedication and signage with family and community partners.
The Healdsburg Unified School District board approved renaming Frost Hall at Hillsborough High School to honor Drew Esquivel, a 2013 graduate whose family and community partners established the Live Like True scholarship.
A district official described Esquivel’s academic achievements — including a full scholarship to MIT — and extracurricular leadership in athletics, drama, and student activities. A longtime wrestling coach recounted Esquivel’s mentorship and persistence: "He made everyone better simply walking in the room," the coach said, describing Esquivel’s impact on teammates and non‑English‑speaking students.
Board members, many with personal memories of Esquivel, voiced strong support. Staff outlined next steps: a dedication tentatively planned for January 24 at 6 p.m., signage and a narrative plaque that trustees and the Esquivel family will help craft, and AV and video elements for visitors to learn about his legacy.
