Dear Spartan Community,

Despite the global pandemic and the impact that it has had on our communities, faculty at Bridges is committed to the learning of all our students. We are excited to have our students on campus and to safely hold our community to high standards.

As the son of Salvadoran immigrants who came to the United States for more opportunities for their family, I am very aware of the importance of a quality education for all students. While being an educator in the Bay Area, I have fallen in love with East San Jose and have become even more convinced that our students deserve to be working with educators that care about them and our community, and are working as a team to ensure that all of our students are learning and growing everyday. I look forward to working with our students and families to help our Spartans gain the academic and socio-emotional skills to help them be successful in high school, college, and beyond!

My goal is to make sure our students have the tools to be successful at Bridges and to learn as much as I can about our community from our students, faculty, and families. I value open, honest communication and feedback. I hope that you do not hesitate to reach-out if you have a question or concern. Please be on the look-out for upcoming family meetings/events, office hours, and coffee chats. In the meanwhile, if you would like to contact me to get to know me, ask questions, or share any concerns, please do not hesitate to call at 408-283-6411, or you may also email me directly at [email protected].

I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to collaborate with our students, families and faculty this school year!
