SAN ANTONIO - There is a lot of love in San Antonio for school principals. We received over a thousand nominations for the best principal in town; the best response ever in our “Best of SA” competition.
The top four…
Yvonne Anglada, Judson Early College Academy
Bill Boyd, Reagan High School
Milton Fields, Wagner High School
Jeffrey Davenport, Forester Elementary School
Principal Yvonne Anglada received thousands of votes on WOAI.com. In fact, she set a new record for most votes in our “Best of SA” series.
Strolling through the halls at Judson Early College Academy, the news had already started to spread. You would think this Judson ISD principal was a rock star as we walked into classrooms and around campus.
Anglada says leading a school where students receive more than 60 hours of college credit before they graduate high school takes teamwork from everyone involved.
“It takes all of us to do a great job -- from anybody who works in your school, the parents, god parents, grandparents, teachers, staff and kids,” explained Anglada.
The Judson Early College Academy is the result of a partnership between JISD and Northeast Lakeview College. Located on the NLC Campus, JECA is a small campus designed to enable all students to earn an Associate's Degree of their choice and at the same time earn a distinguished high school diploma. The program is a four year program and two summer sessions are required between sophomore and junior years.
Way to go Principal Anglada on winning best principal!
