Asawa was a steadfast advocate for arts education and pushed for the creation of a public arts high school in San Francisco. Founded in 1982 as San Francisco School of the Arts, it was renamed the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts in 2010. Since 1982, the city of San Francisco has also declared Feb. 12 Ruth Asawa Day.
