LA Catholic Schools 5-Part Mini Series Episode 1

Title:  4 Reasons Families Should Consider Catholic School Education

Guest: Paul Escala, Superintendent, LA Catholic Schools

I don’t know about you, but I love a great leader who can move, motivate or inspire me to do something, take action, do good, or become a better version of myself.

On a recent trip to visit schools for my goddaughter, I found myself asking these very questions. Who will motivate her, which teachers can inspire her, in which environment will she thrive, and where can she become the best version of her future self.

It was the late 80s when a single mother was in search of the right place for her son. She needed a safe place, he needed male role models, and grandma wanted solid values that matched her own.

Through conviction and sacrifice, this single mother sent her son, Paul, to LA Catholic schools where he attended St John Bosco and went on to attend and graduate from Cornell University. Mr. Escala now runs the largest Catholic school district in the country - right here in Los Angeles.

My conversation with Mr. Paul Escala moved and inspired me in a way I had not been in some time now. What became so clear to me was that the sacrifice his mother made was not lost on him. Paul took advantage of every opportunity along the way, brushed off naysayers and had the audacity to dream as a young freshman in high school. His grit and determination served as a reminder to me what life is all about: making the best of your resources and then - paying it forward.

This interview is the first in a mini 5-part series that will run all week.

If you are a parent in search of a safe place, filled with caring adults while teaching solid values alongside math and English - LA Catholic schools may just be what you are looking for.

To quote Paul Escala  “Dream Bigger. Aspire greater. That’s what Catholic schools do.”

Whether you are Catholic, non-Catholic, or a simple JV Catholic like myself - I promise you - any parent who wants the very best for their child will take away something from this episode.

Enjoy!
