About Me

Marcos Aguilar has been an educational leader for over two decades, first as a prominent student activist in the nineties, then as a history teacher in LAUSD and finally as a traditional Aztec dancer and community organizer. It was because of his passion for education that he eventually led the launch of Semillas Sociedad Civil, a non-profit organization that operates two public International Baccalaureate World Schools which are charter schools with over 400 students k-12. Marcos Aguilar is now the Principal of Tzicatl Community Development Corporation, a group he co-founded in 2002 to engage in strategic community change across Indigenous America. In 2000, Marcos and his wife Minnie Ferguson co-founded the community-based organization that eventually incorporated Xinaxcalmecac Academia Semillas del Pueblo charter school. In 2008, Marcos helped design and initiate a second IB World School, Anahuacalmecac International Preparatory High School of North America. In 2012, on behalf of Semillas Community Schools, Marcos accepted the ‘Firekeepers’ Award from the Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Development, and international Indigenous peoples’ human rights organization.
