In this podcast hosts, Dr. JC Belliard and Nishita Matangi, chat with the inspiring and encouraging Hector Murrieta, who is the Principal of Sierra Highschool, and alternative school here in San Bernardino. He shares his story of starting with an interest in anthropology and never imagining himself as an educator to being a true champion of education of the whole individual. He gives a new perspective on education and insight into his sources of strength in the midst of major burnout in the field.
