- Louise Wolff Kahn

Quintanilla students continue to Sunset High School.[5]
[edit] Archive experiment
The school is involved in an archive experiment in order that morale can be improved. Teacher Bill Betzen worked with a local Lowe's store to install a vault in the lobby in 2005 to create a student time capsule.[6] Students are encouraged to write a letter to themselves, a photo is taken and the letter is put in a self addressed envelope; the school plans to host the first reunion in 2014.[7][6]
[edit] School uniforms
Quintanilla students are required to wear school uniform,[1] subject to the Texas Education Agency waiver policy.[8]
