Email: jfuentes@houstonisd.org
Mr. Fuentes was born in Newburgh, New York. He was the first in his family to go to college, and went to SUNY for one year before transferring to the University of Houston. He earned a Bachelor's in Mathematics and a Masters in Educational Administration, both from the University of Houston. His educational work experience includes 6 years of teaching at Lamar High School, intern principal for 1 year at Waltrip High School, dean at Challenge for 2½ years, and principal for 5 years. He models himself after his high school math teacher, Mr. Dicapua, who taught him that teaching a difficult subject doesn't mean you have to be mean.
He enjoys cooking, sports, and spending time with his three kids. He has too many people to thank for getting him where he is now.
