Dr. Albert G Hernandez Jr., serving as the Superintendent of the Big Springs Charter School district, has
spent more than three decades working in education in the great state of Texas. Fourteen of those years
he spent as a teacher and coach.

Dr. Hernandez, or, "Dr. H" as the children know him, earned his A.A at Southwest Junior College, his B.A.
at the University of Texas at Austin, his M.Ed at Sul Ross State University, and his doctoral degree (Ed.D)
at Aspen University. He started his career with the San Antonio Archdiocese at Sacred Heart Catholic
School in Uvalde as well as working in the Uvalde CISD. 

His personal interests consist of anything that is related to Star Wars, rock concerts, and spending time
with his two daughters, his wife, their two dogs, and their cat.  

Education isn’t just something that stops at graduation. It’s a lifelong journey. Anyone that spends any
time with Dr. Hernandez will immediately know his passion for preparing children for that journey and
encouraging them to Do the Right Thing. He is personally involved with all aspects of the district, and
applies a hands-on approach rarely seen. His purpose is literally as it is stated in the Big Springs Charter
School mantra; Inspire, Lead, Succeed.
