‘I’m super proud.’ Hmong students celebrate Fresno Unified’s new deputy superintendent

Mao Misty Her last week was named second in command at the Fresno Unified School District, a position that makes Her the highest-ranking Hmong public school official in the nation, according to FUSD.

Mallie Ntxawm Yang, a junior at Fresno’s Edison High School, said Her’s appointment was an important milestone for a community that feels underrepresent ed in American society, from schools and politics to popular entertainment.

In a recent Education Lab listening session, Hmong students from Fresno and Clovis said their experience felt “erased” from education due to a lack of Hmong history and ethnic studies classes. They said they’d like to have campus mentors who understand Hmong culture and the pressures young people face.

“I think this milestone will be very beneficial to Hmong students,” Ntxawm said. “Especially when it comes to learning about the language and culture. Applying for classes, I’ve always noticed the comparative of Hmong classes to other ethnic classes. If there’s one thing I hope Deputy Superintendent Her empathizes, it’s the improvement of Hmong study classes. Maybe a 3-year Hmong language class, then a Hmong Studies class. I would love to see that.”
