Principal's Message

Welcome to a New School Year at NOW Academy!

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome all of our students, families, and community members to another school year at NOW Academy. As I begin my 32nd year of service to our students in  LAUSD, I feel deeply honored to serve this remarkable community and to continue building upon our shared commitment to excellence in education.

At NOW Academy, our mission is clear: to prepare every student to be college- and career-ready. Together, as educators, families, and community partners, we strive to create a learning environment that celebrates achievements, sharpens instructional focus, and strengthens collaboration.

This year, I invite you to remain engaged and to actively participate in our school leadership councils, instructional decisions, and community events. Your voice, dedication, and partnership make all the difference in shaping a thriving school culture.

Our Student Learner Outcomes remind us of who we are and what we aspire to achieve:

The Habits of Heart and Mind – We RISE to our PRIME.

I look forward to a year filled with growth, celebration, and success as we work together to support every student’s journey. 

Go Bobcats!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Martha Atilano, Principal
