Dear Students, Parents, Teachers, and Community Members:
I would like to welcome you to our 2016-2017 academic school year. My name is Mr. Miguel Gamboa, Principal at Alliance Patti and Peter Neuwirth Leadership Academy. I am committed to continue to execute the Neuwirth mission and vision of preparing college-ready students through high quality college preparatory classes.
I am a Los Angeles native. My parents migrated to L.A from Mexico, and from a young age they instilled diligence and perseverance in my character. I grew-up in a gang-infested neighborhood, but fortunately I found an escape through education. After I graduated from high school, I served five years in the United States military. Furthermore, I received my Bachelor’s degree from San Diego State and my Master’s degree in Educational Administration from Loyola Marymount University. After seeing a small percentage of inner city youth become successful through education, I decided to make a difference in my community and become a teacher to help more students become prepared to enter four-year universities. As evidenced by my educational background, I strongly believe in lifelong learning and its ability to shape, transform and strengthen individuals. I plan to begin a Doctoral Program with UCLA and I will use what I learn to make me a stronger charter school leader.
As I begin my tenth year as an educator, I will work diligently to ensure that Neuwirth students receive quality instruction, literacy, and college preparation:
I am committed to work with parents to help their child grow intellectually and socially.
I am committed to work with teachers to help grow their instruction practices.
I am committed to encourage and motivate students to take advantage of all the opportunities that Neuwirth offers them.
