My name is Zeidy Revolorio-Rocha. I was born in Guatemala and immigrated with my family to the United States at a young age. I attended elementary, middle and high school in the West Adams district and Mid-City areas of Los Angeles- I am essentially a product of LAUSD.
Attending large public schools has allowed me to have a unique perspective on the need for small charter schools. A small school setting can offer one-on-one attention, more opportunities to incorporate families as partners, and a stronger sense of community.
After High school, I attended Santa Monica community college and transferred to California State University Northridge where I earned a BA in Liberal Studies with a minor in Art, along with a teaching credential. I also earned a Masters in Education and an Administrative Credential from California State University Dominguez Hills. I was a math and science teacher for 16 years before moving out of the class and into an administrative position.
I am married and have two kids, a 19-year-old son who is in his first year of college and a 14-year-old daughter who will soon be a 10th grader in High School.
As principal of RWWN High School, I am hoping to continue the work of educating and preparing our students for college and careers. I am excited to embark on a journey that inspires young minds and maximizes our small school resources. I am eager to get to know each and every one of you, and incorporate you into our Saber family.

Russell Westbrook Why Not? High School
Como su director, es mi placer darle la bienvenida a usted a la manada de lobos de Westbrook. Todos estamos contentos de tener a los estudiantes de regreso en nuestras aulas y pasillos llenándolos de energía y entusiasmo por aprender. Anteriormente LA Promise Charter Middle School, Russell Westbrook Why Not? Middle School se encuentra en medio de algunos cambios importantes. Ahora estamos asociados con Russell Westbrook Why Not? Foundation, lo que significa recursos continuos para instalaciones y programación de calidad. Ahora estamos en una nueva ubicación, co-ubicada en el campus de la Academia Preparatoria Global Barack Obama. Esto nos ha proporcionado aulas grandes y limpias; laboratorios de ciencia; una pista y campo completo; un centro para padres; y acceso al sistema DailyPass de LAUSD para garantizar que nuestros estudiantes estén sanos y seguros. También tenemos una nueva sub-directora: la Sra. Darla Vance, y una nueva intervencionista de lectura: la Sra. Narine Papazyan. Estas miembras del equipo brindarán apoyo adicional a nuestra comunidad escolar a medida que regresemos al aprendizaje en persona.
Todos estos cambios se realizan con el objetivo de crear el mejor entorno posible al que nuestros estudiantes regresarán. Como comunidad, estamos capeando una pandemia global que ha trastornado nuestras vidas de formas que nunca hubiéramos anticipado. Los sentimientos de ansiedad, dolor e inseguridad deben enfrentarse con esperanza, seguridad y consuelo para que nuestros estudiantes aprendan y prosperen. Con ese fin, tenemos tres objetivos principales al comenzar este año sin precedentes:
También queremos animar a todos nuestros padres a que nos acompañen en este nuevo viaje. No solo tendrá la oportunidad de conocer a todo nuestro personal, sino que también aprenderá todas las formas en que podemos comunicarnos y colaborar para asegurarnos de que
nuestros estudiantes satisfagan sus necesidades.
Una vez más, ¡bienvenido de nuevo! ¡Deseando un gran año juntos!
Atentamente,
Justin Shahbaz
