We, the teachers at LPS, are extremely grateful.


The administration of LPS-Richmond for the past two years has been exceptional in their commitment to supporting students, teachers and the overall success of the school.

Ms. Benjamin, our principal, has led us through some hard times such as getting a new campus, helping to create a stronger learning environment, and building a cohesive staff.

Mr. Madway actively communicates with teachers about students, plans and organizes family meetings, and continues to be a presence around campus at all times; we appreciate Mr. Madway because he is thoughtful and conscientious when making important decisions about our school.

Ms. Kim has been a great asset to the administration by bringing fresh new ideas to our school such as tutor tickets and the learning center while at the same time supporting students’ efforts by rewarding them.

Ms. Ram who did an extraordinary job helping our seniors meet their graduation requirements. Ms. Ram also developed the Peer Listeners, empowering our students to be peer counselors for other students.

Mr. Garland supports his students to be successful in their academic classes by opening up his classroom so students have a quiet place to work and communicating with teachers about important assignments.

Ms. Montes is the backbone of our school; without her, our school would collapse. She does everything under the sun, so our school can run successfully.

Mr. Bryan has been priceless at our school; for the past two years, Mr. Bryan has stepped in mid-year to take over art classes for teachers who had to leave. He monitors students during lunchtime, before and after school to ensure school safety. He also facilitates the after school soccer club along with setting up our daily announcements.

With Ms. Wolfe’s diligence, she has already secured all available slots to incoming freshmen; in addition, for the first time in our existence at LPS-Richmond, we have a waiting list for incoming freshmen.

Mr. Figueroa, as college counselor, has helped numerous seniors get admitted into some of the top schools in the state and nation. He helped organize our second Southern California College Tour. He’s been relentless in keeping students on track with important deadlines.

Mr. Hatcher has dedicated endless hours organizing our after school program. Because of Mr. Hatcher, we have sports teams, Model UN, dance, music, and STEP at our school. He is an integral part in building the school culture at LPS-Richmond.

We, the teachers at LPS, are extremely grateful for all the hard work and effort from our admin team.

Mr. Merlino,
What an uplifting and gracious message. Much different from blog messages from staff from a couple years ago. The entire staff should be proud of how far they have come together!
