Hey, Mustangs! My name is Teresa Cuellar-Hernandez, and I am excited, honored, and humbled to serve as the principal of John Jay High School.

Theresa Long
Academic Dean
I am Theresa Long, your academic dean at John Jay High School. I am excited to be in my second year on the Jay admin team.
This is my nineteenth year in education; the first thirteen years I spent at Harlandale High School where I served as a math teacher and math department coordinator. I taught all levels of mathematics from Algebra I through AP Calculus.
After high school, I moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas where I earned my bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a teaching certificate. After moving back to San Antonio I began teaching and attending UTSA at night to earn a master’s degree, also in mathematics.
I have been married for fourteen years to my husband, Charles. We have one daughter, Evelyn. We love to spend time with our extended family and enjoy playing numerous board games and building with Lego bricks.
