A message to our community

Welcome to the wonderful 2022-2023 school year here at Astronaut Jose M Hernandez Academy! 

My name is Donita Drulias-Daumer, I want to be the first to welcome our families, staff, and scholars to the AJMHA family! I am incredibly honored that I will have the privilege to serve as your principal this year. I am very excited to have the opportunity to Learn, Lead, and Grow with each of you.  

I look forward to establishing relationships and bonds with my new AJMHA family members that will cause positive impacts throughout the community!  I wanted to help you start to get to know me by giving you a little bit of information about myself:  I worked for Aspire Public Schools for the past 15 years. I started off in intervention K-5, then teaching 4/5, and lastly as an administrator of a Tk-5 school. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Science with a Concentration in Education from Ashford University. I earned my Teaching Credentials from Teachers College of San Joaquin. In addition,  I also earned my Administrative Credentials through Teachers College of San Joaquin.    

When I am not working, I enjoy engaging in exciting activities with my 3 children,  my Husband, Tracy and his 2 children. We have a blast. They all play competitive softball, baseball and/or football. 

AJMHA Parents:  Being a part of this school means that you are now part of the El Concilio Academies family. This means that everyone that is a part of this family is embraced and supported both in the classroom and in the community. Our school environment is a safe and welcoming atmosphere where your scholar will be supported and encouraged daily. I believe in each and every one of the scholars that will set foot on this campus and know they can be successful. It is my priority to not only meet the academic needs of your child, but also their social and emotional needs. In order to make this year as successful as possible, our teamwork together is crucial. Always remember that we are a team who is working towards the same goal of getting your scholar to be college and career ready! I am very excited about this 2022-2023 school year and I look forward to a great year together!     Choosing Joy,   Mrs. Drulias-Daumer  Principal
