Yvonne Munoz has been named principal of Cambridge Elementary for the 2025-2026 school year.
Current Cambridge Principal Jana Hawkins has announced her retirement after more than three decades in public education.
Munoz has been the principal of Howard Early Childhood Center since 2021. Before joining Alamo Heights ISD, she served as a principal at two elementary schools in Judson ISD and as an assistant principal, and bilingual education teacher in kindergarten, first, and third grades.
“Yvonne Munoz is an exceptional instructional leader and I’m very excited for her to step up into leadership at Cambridge Elementary,” said Dr. Dana Bashara, Superintendent. “She already has strong relationships with so many of our families who were with her at Howard which will surely help in a smooth transition of leadership.”
Munoz earned her bachelor’s degree from UTSA and master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Concordia University.
She and her husband David, an SAPD officer, have four daughters and a granddaughter.
“It is an honor and privilege to become the next Principal of Cambridge Elementary,” Munoz said. “While the transition from Howard is bittersweet because it’s been such a magical place for me, I am so excited for the opportunity to continue supporting our students through their elementary years. I’m eager to carry forward the same spirit of curiosity, creativity, and community. This journey is truly special, and I’m thrilled to be part of their continued growth and success.
Together, we will create an environment where our students can achieve great things. I am excited to be part of the AH-mazing Cambridge family and look forward to all that we will accomplish together!” She will assume her new role this summer.
