Mr. Rivas-Savell participated in the prestigious Building Excellent Schools (BES) Fellowship, which trains strong leaders to build and launch a high-achieving school that responds to the needs of its community. Excellent Schools New Mexico provided funding to support Mr. Rivas-Savell’s BES Fellowship and will provide start-up capital to help launch Voz Collegiate Preparatory Charter School.
