Camelot’s chief academic officer, Nilsa Gonzalez, received the lifetime achievement award in October from the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents at the organization’s annual conference in Denver.
“When you get a recognition that focuses on the Latino community, it’s like winning an Emmy,” said Gonzalez, who has been a part of ALAS, which recruits and promotes the advancement of Latino school leaders, since the organization began 10 years ago.
Today, as the chief academic officer at Camelot -- a for-profit, alternative education provider-- she helps shape the organization’s goals at its campuses throughout Pennsylvania, Illinois, Colorado, New Jersey, Texas, and Florida.
