With the support of his mother, whom he credits for his passionand drive, José received a wrestling scholarship to Brigham Young Universitywhere he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Education and Spanish, a Master’sDegree in Educational Leadership, and finally a PhD in Educational Leadership. Asa teacher, and later an administrator, José saw again what he’d started to notice asa student in Los Angeles: Latino youth were disengaged and disenfranchised atschool. In addition, they often shunned their cultural heritage, which he believes is at the heart of everyLatino youth’s drive to excel. This gap kept students, who could offer the classroom and community awealth of knowledge, experience, and unique perspectives, from graduating high school and college.In effect, this phenomenon kept students from reaching their potential. José recognized the barriersthese young Latinos faced within their own homes and communities. He saw himself in these studentsand reflected on the opportunities, experiences, and mentors that had allowed him— a low-income,non-English-speaking immigrant— to succeed. The combination of these experiences and reflectionsled José to begin the Latinos in Action program.Angie Girard is the director of accreditation at Pacific Northwest University ofHealth Sciences (PNWU).
