Our Founders
We are a team of local professionals who have succeeded despite the systems of oppression current students continue to face in our county. We have attained our personal and professional goals due to a variety of factors, including the persistence of our immigrant culture, the family focus inherent in our heritage, caring and encouraging mentors who opened our eyes at an early age to professional possibilities and guided our paths, and individual opportunities we were prepared to pursue when they presented themselves. We formed the SBC Polytechnic Academy out of a sense of responsibility specifically to address this inequity.
