Congratulations to SIATech Albuquerque Principal Erik Bosewho has been named the 2011 Met Life/National Association of Secondary School Principals Principal of the Year for New Mexico!

SIATech Albuquerque, in partnership with Job Corps and the U.S. Department of Labor, created a way to break the cycle of poverty and underachievement for students who have not been successful in previous schools. SIATech Albuquerque delivers a curriculum that uses state-of-the-art technologies to integrate academic knowledge and real-world applications within a professional, work-like setting. Students are engaged by the technology and involved with the outcome-based project curriculum. They achieve good academic results in dramatically less time than in the traditional school setting.

We are all very proud of Erik and the work he’s doing to keep SIATech as one of the top charter schools in the state of New Mexico. The SIATech Albuquerque staff and students continue to thrive under Erik’s leadership and his mantra, “Choose Success.” This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication by the team in Albuquerque to provide every success for our “At Promise” students.
