Pinoy Principal Appointed for Franklin High School

A big congratulations goes to Joseph Nacorda who was appointed to serve as principal of Benjamin Franklin High School beginning this fall. A long-time FAEALA member and a graduate of UCLA, Mr. Nacroda has served the students of Los Angeles in variety of positions: as a teacher and for the past nine years, as a school administrator. Prior to his appointment as principal, Mr. Nacorda was an assistant principal at Hollywood High School.

Located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, Franklin HS is one of the over 60 comprehensive high schools in Los Angeles. It first opened its doors in 1916 with 225 students. Today, Franklin serves approximately 2,500 students and is at the forefront of school reform offering small learning communities (SLCs) to its students which includes: Health & Human Services, Arroyo Seco (formerly Transportation Academy), Academy of American Studies, Media & Graphic Arts (aka MEGA), Academy of Business & Sports Science (aka ABSS), and Math & Science Magnet.

FAEALA recognizes the significance of Mr. Nacorda's most recent accomplishment and wish him nothing but the best in the days, months and years to come!
