💙 Meet Martín Salinas! He has been part of the Uplift Atlas Preparatory Team for nearly 12 years as a custodian, supporting our scholars and staff every day. Not only does he work here, but he’s also an #UpliftParent whose daughters graduated from our school, going on to become a nurse and a professional chef! At Uplift, we’re more than a school—we’re a team, a family, and a community that grows together. We thank custodians like Martín for their dedication, care, and heart that keep our campus

Austin Roy is an English teacher at Flintridge Preparatory School, where he teaches a senior course on Joan Didion and grief, inviting students to read The Year of Magical Thinking and talk openly about death. At End Well 2024, Austin shared why he believes Death Education should be part of every high school curriculum—and how giving young people the language to talk about dying can change the way we all live.
