These panels were done in 2001 by students participating in the St. John’s Educational Thresholds, Panel Project as part of the Urban Artworks program.
They represent various parts of Mission District heritage and culture.
In 2008, after 35 years, St John’s Education Threshold Center changed its name to Mission Graduates.  Mission Graduates is a nonprofit organization that increases the number of K-12 students in San Francisco’s Mission District who are prepared for and complete a college education.
