Miriam Rojas

Miriam Rojas is a first generation Egyptian-American. Her family’s experience as a religious minority in a non-Christian country served to strengthen the family’s commitment to Catholicism. Miriam’s family immigrated to the United States and felt blessed to be able to express their newfound religious freedoms. Her parents were so devoted to their faith that they encouraged Miriam to continue her Catholic education beyond elementary and high school, leading her to Loyola Marymount University for college and Mount Saint Mary’s University for her post-graduate studies.

Miriam’s experience as an educator began working with children with special needs. Miriam taught for 15 years in all grade levels in Catholic schools from West LA to the San Gabriel Valley. She served the community at Immaculate Conception STEM Academy in Monrovia, as their junior high English Language Arts teacher. Her duties included being vice principal, assisting with Academic Decathlon, and helping with the school’s transition into the ADLA STEM Network. She is now the proud principal of Immaculate Conception STEM Academy.
