Selection of our New Principal

Dear Steller Families, 

Dr. Bishop and Secondary Education are pleased to share the selection of Maria Hernandez as the new principal of Steller Secondary School for the 2021-22 school year.  

Mrs. Hernandez brings a wealth of enthusiasm, experience, and knowledge to Steller.  She is currently serving as the Assistant Principal of Benny Benson Secondary School and prior to her time at Benson, Mrs. Hernandez has served the Anchorage School District in many capacities including Project Management Supervisor, Acting Counselor Coordinator, and Counselor at Benson and Service HS.  

Shortly, Steller families will receive a letter from Mrs. Hernandez introducing herself in her own words. Additionally, Mrs. Hernandez will spend the coming months working with the Steller community on a smooth transition into the next school year. She will also be walking the halls at Steller periodically so students can get to know her better as well.  

Mrs. Hernandez is excited to lead Steller moving in the next school year and I am excited for you to get to know her as well. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Kersten Johnson

Sr. Director of Secondary Education

Anchorage School District
