Laura Hernandez - Principal
My name is Laura Hernandez and I am the proud principal of Judge Andy Mireles Elementary. As I come from a family of educators, I developed a passion for education at a young age. Growing up, my mother was a special education high school teacher, my stepmother was a high school counselor and my grandmother was an elementary school counselor. In high school I began tutoring elementary school students, as well as coaching cheerleading. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (Education) at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Prior to becoming the principal at JAM, I taught at several elementary schools and with the encouragement of my administration, I went back to UTSA and earned a Masters in Educational Leadership with a Principal Certification. I then served as the Vice Principal at two elementary schools.
I am a wife and mother of two girls, who are my world. Currently, one of my daughters attends Mireles Elementary. I love to see her in the hallway, playground and learning in the classroom. I have high expectations for both of my daughters’ education, as I do for all of the students at JAM. The faculty and staff are truly a family with one goal, the growth of our students. Our Mission Statement is “Judge Andy Mireles Elementary is dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment with high expectations through teamwork. We will empower all to become lifelong learners who positively impact our community.” Each student may learn in different ways, but we strive to ensure all of our students can achieve their goals. I love coming to school every day to work alongside our faculty and staff for our amazing students!
We are the knights, conquering new heights!
