This week, EPISD campuses celebrated the work done by the thousands of professional educators who work to provide high-quality instruction to the children of the District by selecting a campus Teacher of the Year.
“The Teacher of the Year contest allows us to celebrate the contributions our outstanding educators make on a daily basis,” said Superintendent Juan E. Cabrera.
“Never has this commitment to our children been more important and evident than during the campus closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” he added. “The campus teachers of the year represent the best of the best in the District. And our community is grateful for their work and their dedication.”
Campuses each year select one member of its teaching staff to compete in the annual EPISD Teacher of the Year program — the contest that each year selects one elementary and one secondary teacher to represent the District at the regional contest.
The District will announce the EPISD Teacher of the Year Top 10 Finalists this weekend in anticipation of National Teacher Appreciation Week. The two winners will be announced later that month.
