Los Angeles Academy Middle School

After more than eight incredible years as an instructional coach and administrator at Los Angeles Academy Middle School, it is time for my next chapter.

LAAMS has never been just a school to me. It has been home.

Together, we celebrated successes, overcame challenges, and built a culture focused on growth, belonging, and opportunity for every student. I have been inspired daily by our students, supported by our families, and privileged to work alongside some of the most dedicated educators I have ever known.

As I close my 26th year in education and prepare to begin my 27th year, I am also culminating from middle school and moving on to high school. In August, I will proudly serve as Assistant Principal at Belmont High School.

While I am excited for what lies ahead, a piece of my heart will always remain with the Lions of Los Angeles Academy.

Thank you to every student, family, staff member, and community partner who has been part of this journey. Thank you for your trust, your support, and the memories we created together.

Los Angeles Academy helped shape the leader I am today. I will carry the spirit of this community with me wherever I go.

Always a Lion, forever a leader! 🦁

With gratitude,

Dr. Williams Olmedo
