What attracted you to EP?

Our beloved Maestra Lidia Reguerin taught us to dream, to value every member of our community, and to believe our world is beautiful. Escuela Popular allows every member of our community to dream. At EP students, teachers, and staff are able to exploit their strengths to achieve their goals.

What’s the best part of your job?

The best part of my job is having the opportunity to work with our Latino community and help every member to positively transform their lives.The vibrant learning environment at EP embraces new members, and invites them to become part of our extended family.

How does your passion align with EP’s vision?

I truly believe every student at EP has the potential to succeed. My major role at EP is to empower and guide students to a world of possibilities. This world of possibilities allows our students to become independent learners and set their own personal and educational goals.

Escuela Popular (EP) began as a community-based grassroots school to address a growing need for English instruction in East San Jose and as a consequence, has been providing educational services since 1986. Within the first year of its operations, the demand for learning and schooling grew rapidly and EP continued to expand in numbers of students,   classes, and services to meet the growing needs. EP currently has 3 academies; K-8th grade Dual Language Academy, 9-12th Grade Youth Academy, and 9-12th Grade Adult in the PM and AM academy. Our school is open from 7 AM to 11 PM.
