Ms. Hernandez - Communities in school Site Coordinator
Hello everyone! I'm Ms. Hernandez/Ms. Angie, the CIS-SA Site Coordinator at Pershing Elementary School 21-22. I'm excited to support Pershing students with whatever they need to succeed in school this year, including supportive guidance, enrichment activities, and academic and basic needs assistance. I love working for CIS because I want to create a lasting impact on a child's life. A bit about me, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Public Health and Sociology from UTSA. I have served with the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps, and this is my first year with CIS-SA
