Our Namesake

Dan Mini, our school's namesake, was born in Gudo, Switzerland, on February 22, 1852. At age 20, he immigrated to the United States in 1872 and formed a dairy partnership with his brother Lorenzo. Their dairy, located three miles north of Vallejo, became the largest in the area and expanded into Vallejo in 1902. In 1908, Dan retired to his ranch, which later became the site of our school. Mini passed away in 1921, leaving eight children, many grandchildren, and local streets named after the Mini family.
