In this episode of We Are Pius, we highlight the quiet but powerful work of Ali Hernandez, translator, para educator, mentor, and bridge‑builder at Pius X High School. If you’ve attended a parent‑teacher conference, a school Mass, or a community event and heard a calm, confident voice helping families navigate language barriers with grace—you’ve experienced Ali’s impact.

Ali shares her journey into education, how her own family’s experiences shaped her passion for service, and the meaningful ways she supports Spanish‑speaking students and families so they feel welcomed, understood, and fully at home in the Thunderbolt community. Rooted in faith, humility, and a deep desire to serve, this conversation beautifully captures how presence, compassion, and connection strengthen the heart of a Catholic school.
