Principal's Corner

Dear Clifford Community,

I am so proud to be the principal of Clifford Math & Technology Magnet.  I have worked for LAUSD for over 28 years as an elementary teacher, TSP Instructional Advisor, Title-I Coordinator, and Assistant Principal.  My experience lies with working with largely populated inner-city elementary schools.

I have been serving the Clifford community since November 2024. I feel honored working alongside our staff, parents, and community partners. We all have the same goal in mind: to further advance all our students by providing an unforgettable educational experience.

My personal mission is to lead my staff in the belief that all our students can, and will succeed with confidence, dignity, pride, and respect for others. Together we will reveal the best versions of ourselves, as we strive to leave this world better than when we found it. 

Sincerely,

Steve Montoya,

Principal
