Manuel Davila

With years of teaching experience under his belt, Upper School Mathematics Teacher Manuel Davila will now help Poly students solve for x in his ninth grade Geometry and Algebra with Transformations and tenth grade Functions, Trigonometry and Advanced Algebra (FTAA) classes.

Joining the Poly community from South Hills Academy, Davila’s teaching career began at Rio Hondo Community College. He also taught at California State University, Los Angeles, where he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in math.

“Mr. Davila brings excitement and curiosity to the classroom everywhere he goes,” said junior Jeremy Hsieh in introducing Davila to the student body.

“He’s willing to go over things as many times as needed for us to understand,” Sofia Flores-Castro, a sophomore in Davila’s FTAA class, said.

This year, Davila is also excited to teach economics in the History Department, cheer on Poly’s sports teams and go on the Catalina Island Outdoor Education trip.

In his free time, Davila competes fiercely in classic chess tournaments, watches iconic TV shows and searches for interesting restaurants and foods to try.
