Introducing Pablo Javier Joucovsky, assistant principal at Monaco Elementary School! Pablo brings 24 years of experience in education to Adams 14, and the 2026-27 school year marks his inaugural year at Monaco and Adams 14. A fun fact about Pablo is that he enjoys playing guitar and a bit of piano, which he learned without formal lessons! He is an avid traveler and spent six months backpacking through South America, where he successfully hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu independently, using nothing but a map. Pablo loves cooking and is convinced that his homemade empanadas are even better than Maria Empanadas! Additionally, he holds French citizenship. Please join us in welcoming Pablo to Adams 14!

“Every student deserves to feel that they belong, that they are capable, and that their future is filled with possibility. I am 100% committed to empowering educators, removing barriers, and creating conditions in which every student can thrive.” — Pablo J. Joucovsky
