Women’s Education Alliance hires Sandoval as director of student outcomes

The Women’s Education Alliance, which serves Catholic schools in Baltimore City in underprivileged communities, hired veteran principal Valerie A. Sandoval as its director of student outcomes and program evaluation. 

Over the past 22 years, Sandoval has helped provide students a transformational educational experience using data-driven decision-making and innovation, and by promoting diversity and inclusion, according to a news release. She is committed to ensuring that students from lower socio-economic backgrounds receive equal access to a quality education. 

For the past three years, Sandoval has been the principal of Archbishop Borders School, a dual-language, pre-K through eighth grade school in Highlandtown. 

 “It is a great opportunity to join WEA as it celebrates 10 years of success supporting Baltimore City’s underserved youth,” said Sandoval, who also was the principal of Los Amigos Technology Academy and Summit View Elementary School in Tucson, Ariz. “I am pleased to help continue its mission by contributing my experience developing educational programming that meets the needs of students of various cultural and economic backgrounds and provides the foundation for achievement of their individual educational goals. 

“As the principal of Archbishop Borders for three years, I learned firsthand of the commitment of WEA to its partner schools, and the value of the scholarship dollars and school resources it provides.”

WEA assists in the education and formation of qualified pre-K through 12th grade students by providing scholarships and school support services to Catholic community schools serving economically disadvantaged families in Baltimore City.

“Valerie Sandoval has a notable background in serving children in multilingual environments to elevate their educational outcomes and the quality of the teachers who instruct them,” said WEA Chairwoman Betty Contino. “As WEA’s director of student outcomes and program evaluation, she will bring demonstrated experience in developing superior educational programming and providing solution-focused outcomes, which advances WEA’s mission to increase quality education opportunities for Baltimore’s children. 

“Valerie’s commitment will help WEA to further expand our program offerings so that our students’ school experience and results will enhance their ability to access higher education opportunities, achieve success, and contribute to the communities in which they live.”

In 2021-2022, WEA received donor investments to provide scholarships for pre-K through 12th grade  students and school support services for partner schools that include enhanced academic programming, technology frameworks and physical education program enhancements. WEA donors also provided critical equipment and supplies during COVID-19, accommodating both in-classroom and virtual learning.
