Staff

The staff and administrators of San Miguel Academy are dedicated to the mission of the school. They work more hours per year than their public school peers because they believe that the educational opportunity provided by San Miguel Academy transforms lives. Most of our young teachers are taking courses to fulfill their master’s degree in education. The goal is for all classroom teachers to become certified.
