Newhall School District

It is a true honor and privilege to serve the Newhall School District as your Superintendent. As someone who grew up in Newhall and Valencia, returning home to give back to the community that shaped me is incredibly meaningful.

My own childhood experiences have instilled in me a deep belief that every student in our district has the potential to achieve their dreams. Together—as district leaders, educators, staff, and families—we can create the conditions for those dreams to become reality.

With over 30 years of experience in education, I bring a leadership style rooted in care, collaboration, and loyalty. I am confident that by working as a team, we will lead with integrity and perseverance. As a proud mother of three, I understand firsthand the vital role a high-quality education plays in shaping a child’s future. Every student in our district deserves a rich, engaging learning experience that nurtures both academic growth and social-emotional development.

I am eager to listen, learn, and partner with all members of our district—students, parents, staff, and community leaders. Your insights about what we’re doing well and your hopes for the future are invaluable. My unwavering commitment is to student success, in full alignment with our district’s vision for educational excellence.

I look forward to connecting with each of you as we embark on this journey together.

Warm regards,

Leticia Hernandez, Ed.D
