Cornerstone Christian School

Gayl Adams

Gayl Adams is our secondary English teacher. Her Education degree is from Angelo State University, and she has just recently moved back to San Angelo and is looking forward to becoming involved in our community. She enjoys playing and watching sports, reading a good book, and cooking fun and healthy meals whenever she has time.

Gayl strives to be a firm, fair, and consistent teacher in the classroom and is thankful that God led her to Cornerstone. Here she agrees that God's word is the foundation on which all learning is based, and she believes that God is a good God and that He has a dream for our lives.

She continues to be involved with church youth, women's ministry, and small groups; and she always holds Matthew 6:33 close to her heart: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

Lora Bird

Our Athletic Director at Cornerstone is Lora Bird. She grew up in Wilson, Texas and graduated from Angelo State University. She and her husband, James (who is a Cornerstone School Board member), give countless service hours to our school; and their children, Loren, Jacob, and Noah, are very active in their respective grades.

In addition to teaching, Greg is highly involved in youth ministry at Big Lake Bethel, and he was part of the church planting team for Brentwood Family Fellowship in San Angelo.

With any free time, Greg plays golf and watches college sports, but on top of his list is spending time with his wife, Jackie, and their two sons, Robert & Joseph.

Greg feels very strongly that God brought him to Cornerstone, and he teaches with the philosophy that all students deserve the unbridled opportunity to learn and to exceed in their studies.

He follows I Peter 5:6, "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time," and he controls his classroom with tough love and high expectations for respect and obedience.

Jan Harkleroad

Jan Harkleroad teaches high school Geography and History. She is a graduate of Texas Tech University and enjoyed over thirty years of teaching before retiring. Did we say retired? Actually, she couldn't wait to get back in the classroom, and now Jan enjoys being at Cornerstone part time. She says the "faculty family" at Cornerstone provides a warm and loving atmosphere, and she is honored to be a part of teaching our students the Christian values that God has set as standards for us.

Jan strives to love these students as God loves us, and says that from there teaching and learning will follow. Jan's very favorite thing is spending time with her three precious grandchildren in sports, church, and at school. She enjoys the theatre, the symphony, and the museum; and she is a very active member of Sierra Vista United Methodist Church.

Jan says she has learned over the years just how important prayer is, and she clings to Psalm 116:2, "Because He bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I have breath."

Bethany Hernandez

Bethany Hernandez is one of our very own Cornerstone graduates and is currently teaching 3rd grade. She has her Bachelor's Degree from Angelo State University and is currently pursuing her Master's Degree in Education, specifically Curriculum and Instruction. She is a member of Solid Rock Church and enjoys spending time with her family and friends.

As a teacher, Bethany is honored to work at Cornerstone and enjoys giving back to the school, teachers, and individuals who guided her while she was a student. She has continued her career at Cornerstone because of the "family atmosphere", and she is encouraged to work diligently to unlock each students' potential.

She is blessed by Romans 8:28 and says it helps her to realize that God has a plan for her life, and she will remain patient while He is in control.

Lillian Hernandez

Our Cornerstone Choir Director is Lillian Hernandez. She also teaches 9th grade Bible. Her educational background includes Del Mar College, Corpus Christi State University, Angelo State University, and Liberty University where music has always been an active part of her life. Lillian feels God's calling on her life here at Cornerstone and wants to provide current content to her students within the framework of God's Word and character development. She hopes to teach her students to interpret life and culture correctly so they are able to make God-honoring decisions.

Lillian and her husband, Jehu, have four children who have all attended Cornerstone; three have graduated and the youngest is a senior this year. Lillian says she wants to let God work in her and through her, and she is guided by Phillipians 2:3 "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself."
