Former FAEALA president Erick Mata is now the new principal at Orthopaedic Hospital Medical Magnet High School. A veteran educator and administrator, Mr. Mata previously served as principal of Marina Del Rey Middle School. He taught at the renowned Downtown Business Magnet School, before assuming successive leadership positions as an instructional advisor at LAUSD's Division of Instruction and director in the district grants office. Returning back to the school site, he served as assistant principal at Emerson Middle School.
Located just east of the Orthopaedic Hospital Medical Center campus, near downtown Los Angeles, Orthopedic Hospital Medical Magnet High School opened in the fall of 2004, with an emphasis on health care and medical science. The school is relatively small compared to comprehensive high schools serving approximately 800 students who demonstrate interest in health science and medicine. As joint venture between LAUSD and Orthopaedic Hospital, the school provides students with an opportunity to learn in a highly enhanced curriculum. Its vision aims for students to broaden their interest and enter into the medical and biological science careers.
We at FAEALA congratulate Mr. Mata on his most recent appointment, our hats are off to you! We also extend our best wishes as you and your staff work towards helping all students achieve.
