On April 18, Grossmont celebrated its 2025 Hall of Honor, seven retired staff and five alumni.Each honoree or family received a commemorative plaque at the event. A few lines from the five alumni honorees’ plaques indicate their remarkable achievements after high school.Roberto Alvarez, Class of 1938: As an elementary student, Alvarez, one of the best students in the Lemon Grove Grammar School, was named the head plaintiff in the 1931 lawsuit: Roberto Alvarez vs. the Trustees of the Lemon Grove School Board. The school board lost the lawsuit; the parents won one of the first successful anti-discrimination lawsuits in the US. In 1950, Roberto started his own business: Coast Citrus Distributors Inc., which grew to be one of the leading Latino-owned businesses in the US.Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, Class of 1953: Architect Kellogg’s vision created “total works of art blending architecture, wood, stained glass, and metalwork.” Among his most celebrated buildings are the Onion House in Hawaii with its translucent roof panels; the Yen Lotus house in San Diego, based on the shape of a nautilus shell; and in Joshua Tree, the Kellogg Doolittle High Desert House with its 26 cast-concrete vertebrae, which rise as columns and then fan out to create a roof.Milton Silverman, Class of 1962: During his 50-year career, Silverman was an astoundingly successful trial attorney. The central theme of his career was his desire to help clients whom he felt had been wronged or treated unfairly. Silverman was known for his total dedication to his clients, often focusing on just one case at a time and fighting against long odds, as shown by just two of his many cases, Dale Akiki and Stephanie Crowe.Kimberlin Brown, Class of 1979: Brown is known for her award-winning performances as villainess Sheila Carter in over 1,300 episodes on “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” receiving two daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress. She is ranked as the top villain of all-time in daytime history, surpassing JR Ewing of “Dallas” and Alexis Colby of “Dynasty.”Steve Martin, Class of 1988: In 2008, Martin was injured in Afghanistan by an improvised explosive device (IED) while on operations as a State Department contractor. In 2017, Martin retired as an Arizona State Trooper after 22 years as a police officer, the last nine as a double leg amputee, the only double leg amputee in the country serving as a patrol officer. Today, Martin is an active Move United Warfighter Ambassador, giving his time to help other injured warfighters.Read the complete text of the Foothiller Hall of Honorees plaques and see their photos on the GHS Hall of Honor pages at foothillermuseum.com.
