Mr. Rael has been South Valley Academy's Technology Director for the last 15 years. He was born and raised in Albuquerque and is a South Valley Academy alumnus from our school’s first graduating class of 2004. While primarily responsible for our constantly evolving technology and data systems, Mr. Rael also designs many of the public-facing forms, letterhead, signage and graphics used by the school. When he’s not administering computers and school data, you will probably find him analyzing hockey and soccer stats, gardening, cooking, or in the stands at a New Mexico United match.
