Phillip Chardon. The
Technology/Leadership teacher at Animo Locke II. He love the school, the
students, and his class, and his glad to be here! He was raised on both
the East Coast and the West Coast. He
always noticed the terrible effects of poverty on people. In high
school.His devotion to his studies paid
off, and he made it to UC Santa Barbara. At UC Santa Barbara he took many
ethnic studies classes and history classes. He was surprised to find
that there was so much that he had never been exposed to about history
in high school. He also became a major activist on campus, taking part
in any protest that he felt was worthwhile. At the same time, many of his
friends that he worked with in high school had taken different paths
such as gang banging and prison. After his first year of college, he knew
that he wanted to be a teacher and he knew that he wanted to teach in the
hood. He graduated with a degree in history after four years. He went on
to graduate school at UC Santa Barbara also, where he received his
teaching credentials and a masters in public education. The last
several years he have taught history at nearby Animo South LA Charter
High School. He live very close by Locke and want to improve the
community that he live in.
