Antonio Barrera began working at Cooper Dual Language Academy in 2007, after years of security guard work in his home city of Los Angeles. He has enjoyed his work at Cooper for the last eight years. He believes in the academic and cultural education that Cooper provides to the point of sending his daughter to Cooper as a student in 2014. When he is not securing the South building, and watching the students at Cooper grow, he enjoys playing video games and spending time with his family. Tony, as his friends call him, has a daughter, 7, and a son, 4. His favorite pastime is completing word search puzzles.
