John Zapata Email & Phone Number

I’m a principal and program manager with a passion for infusing trauma response, DEI, and Social Emotional Learning in schools. As a campus leader and educator, I’ve spent my career changing the odds for students in underserved communities. My leadership journey has been shaped by my ability to build relationships, programs, and strategy which create transformational learning experiences for both students and adults. From my work as a middle school teacher and counselor in the Los Angeles Unified School District to my time founding, growing, and leading schools within Aspire Public Schools and Green Dot, I have a true love for identifying the needs in a community and designing programs and partnerships which quickly meet student needs.
