About Raquel Hernandez
I’m a student-centered and data-driven school leader with over 15 years of experience in Austin ISD and Chicago Public Schools. My passion is helping students and families turn potential into opportunity — especially those who have historically been underserved or overlooked.I specialize in building systems that make schools more equitable and engaging — from strengthening parent partnerships to using data to design targeted outreach and evaluate impact. I believe great student support programs are equal parts heart and strategy: meaningful relationships, transparent communication, and structures that help every student thrive.As a leader, I love bringing teams together, empowering families as partners in student success, and connecting classrooms to college and career readiness. Whether it’s collaborating with higher-ed partners, leading district initiatives, or mentoring new counselors, my goal is the same: to help every student see themselves in a future they’re excited about.
