Efrén Olivares, Valley View High School Class of 2001, has been named to TIME Magazine's 2025 TIME100 Next list as one of the world's most influential rising leaders.
After arriving in the United States at age 13 and starting seventh grade at Valley View without speaking English, Efrén became the first in his family to attend college. Today, he serves as Vice President of Litigation & Legal Strategy at the National Immigration Law Center, where he champions human dignity and defends families at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Kerry Kennedy wrote of him: "He isn't just a brilliant lawyer. He's an example of the principles we're fighting to protect." MyRGV
His 2022 memoir, "My Boy Will Die of Sorrow," earned the 2023 International Latino Book Award, sharing his firsthand accounts of representing hundreds of immigrant families.
Congratulations, Efrén! From Tiger to trailblazer, your journey from our hallways to TIME Magazine's pages inspires us all. You exemplify what's possible when determination meets opportunity, and you remind us why we do what we do—to help every student reach their full potential and make a difference in the world.
We are Valley View proud! 💚🐯
