Principal's Message

Dear South East HS Community,

I am very humbled and honored to introduce myself as your new principal and am excited to join this excellent school community. I arrive at South East High School as a seasoned LAUSD educator and graduate. The 2022-23 school year will mark my 25th year in education. My capacities have increased as a math teacher, football & track coach, athletic director, testing coordinator, dean, and assistant principal. 

Although I am an educator, I am also a proud father and husband. My three children navigated K-12 with success and are currently enrolled in various California State Universities. I can assure you I share in this school community’s dedication to caring for our students every day while providing them with a meaningful learning environment. I firmly believe that the cooperation between home and school builds trust and self-esteem in students. We will continue to nurture this partnership so that every student has the opportunity to reach his/her highest potential to shape their and our future. 

To conclude, please know that my door is always open to you. I sincerely welcome your conversation and input during the year. Let us keep our students the primary focus of our work. I cannot wait to meet you all! 

Enjoy the remaining days of summer!

Sincerely,

Eric Jaimes
