High School Principal's Message
Dear LALA Family,
My life's mission is to contribute to my community as an educator, and it is my great pleasure to continue working with the staff and students of Los Angeles Leadership Academy High School for my 5th year. Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year familia!
I am very lucky to get to work with an amazing staff that I enjoy working with and I am lucky to work with children whom I love. During the last 4 years, the staff, students, parents, and I have collaborated to improve the education experience for everyone. Some of those accomplishments include:
I am confident that the new school year is going to be amazing. I get to continue working with my partner, Mr. Lazo, and the staff is ready and energized to work with our students. I also plan to be working more closely with my LALA partners at the primary and middle school campus (Primary Principal Nereida Lopez and Primary Assistant Principal Nohemi Gonzalez, Middle School Principal Elizabeth O'Neill and Middle School Assistant Principal Anna Rice). Our goal is to invigorate the college culture throughout our entire LALA organization and ensure students arrive at the high school better prepared academically and with a growth mindset that will help them persevere through any challenges. Finally, I plan to increase the collaboration between you parents and our staff. That will certainly increase the likelihood of our children realizing their dreams. I hope you will continue to support me through my journey of service to my community and that we will share more tears of happiness together as our children cross the graduation stage to the next stage of their lives next June.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Cuprill
High School Principal
