Coming to school this fall, most of us were surprised knowing that Mr. Mendez wasn’t our principal anymore, and that Mr. Carrillo is our interim principal. So I decided to have a few words with him, and find out what most of us are wondering.
EBT: How did you find out you would be acting interim principal?
Mr. Carrillo: I was called for an interview with the Department of Education officials, for a referral as an acting principal. And I wanted to continue the academic legacy that Mr. Mendez left at EBT and decided to accepted the challenge.
EBT: What does it mean to be acting as the interim principal?
Mr. Carrillo: The role of the principal and the acting principal is the same. It means I have the same duties and responsibilities, that our former leader, principal and founder had.
EBT: Did Mr. Mendez gives you any words of encouragement?
Mr. Carrillo: Yes, Mr. Mendez highly recommended me and has always provided words of supports and encouragement.
EBT: What part of the job has been most unexpected for you? And what has come most easily?
Mr. Carrillo: What has been easy is to continue to have direct contact with the students and to ensure their academic success. What has been unexpected is the number of meetings that I have to attend.
EBT: Is there anything you want to say to the students at EBT?
Mr. Carrillo: I want to take this opportunity to thank all the students at the High School for Enterprise, Business and Technology for their hard work, dedication and commitment to success. I am confident that you will all reach your goals, graduate, attend college and become a productive member of our society.
