Mr. Aguilar's Teacher Page
About me.
I was born and raised right here in the East Bay! Here's my story in a few sentences: I graduated from San Lorenzo High in 2018! Back then, I had been Student Body Secretary, Vice President, then President. After I graduated, I ran a campaign for School Board, won, and have served in that role since 2018. As a political consultant, I have also worked on political campaigns from the Presidential level down to School Board. I graduated from San Francisco State University with my BA in Political Science, then National University with my MEd in Inspired Teaching and Learning.
When I'm not teaching or politicking, I love LEGOs and having a great time and discovering more in the most beautiful city in the world: San Francisco. I'm an avid fan of the TV show Doctor Who, love the Ghostbusters series, and am overall a big ole nerd.
Courses I teach.
Leadership
In ASB Leadership, students of every grade level come together to lead and run student activities at San Lorenzo High School - they receive hands on job skills training, meeting the standards of Student Activities in California as well as many job preparation standards. Among other things, ASB Leadership students get their hands on lessons in Leadership through stories and opportunities of growth.
Ethnic Studies
In Ethnic Studies, ninth graders get an in-depth look at who they are as people before they learn the history of the country's most marginalized communities as well as the roles of race, privilege, and oppression in society.
AP US Government and Politics
In AP Gov, twelfth graders get a college-level experience (using simulations, extensive readings, and historical analysis) understanding the depths of the United States Government - including the branches of government, origins of American democracy, and more. Students also get a look into personal finance and general economics.
