Javier Negron » Staff Directory

I am so fortunate to be part of the leadership team at SkyView Academy and honored to work alongside an amazing team of educators. My journey of working in education has not been traditional, but education has always been at the core of all that I have done. I was born in Puerto Rico and moved to Orlando, Florida, in the middle of 7th grade. My Puerto Rican heritage has provided me with a love of family, music, food, language, and culture. After earning my undergraduate degree from Florida State University, I had the great opportunity to teach in a small school in Panajachel, Guatemala. My experiences in Central America inspired me to pursue graduate studies in Psychology. My internship brought our family out to Denver, where I had the privilege of working at Children’s Hospital Colorado. I worked for nearly ten years in a neurological rehabilitation setting, helping infants, children, and teenagers recover from brain and spinal cord injuries. In my pursuit of returning to education, I landed a dream job here at SkyView Academy, teaching Spanish and Leadership in the fall of 2014. SVA’s vision to prepare students to be lifelong learners and honorable leaders exemplifies what I value in education for my own children, who both attend and will graduate from SkyView Academy. Sebastian is a Junior at the University of Central Florida, and Siena is a Freshman at Loyola University Chicago. My lovely wife of 22 years works at Craig Hospital, and we love our pet-filled home in Roxborough, Colorado. Most weekends, we enjoy our gardens and being outdoors.
