We are excited to welcome Angelica Hernandez as the new Assistant Principal of Valley View Elementary!

Mrs. Hernandez was raised in the Yakima Valley on the Yakama Nation Reservation by immigrant parents, instilling in her a deep devotion to ensuring every student feels valued, supported, and known. Throughout her career, she has served as an early learning content specialist, child care center supervisor, elementary teacher, transitional kindergarten/WaKIDS coordinator, and most recently as a Migrant Academic Coordinator at ESD 105. Across each of these roles, she has worked closely with educators, families and school leaders to strengthen instruction, support student needs and expand opportunities for students.

A relationship-centered leader, Angelica believes in high expectations, collaboration and creating schools where students feel a strong sense of identity, culture and belonging. Please join us in welcoming Angelica to Valley View and Team Toppen*sh!
