Congratulations to Ms. Patricia Flores: May Teacher of the Month

Eagle Pass Independent School District has partnered with local businesses throughout our city to highlight the Teacher of the Month program, which honors educators who have made a difference in our community.  The program recognizes outstanding kindergarten, elementary, junior high, and high school teachers in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Once in a while, we come upon teachers who are truly outstanding at their work. When this happens, it is a privilege to honor them as Teacher of the Month. Ms. Patricia Flores has been a teacher for 20 years and throughout her career, she has consistently shown strong leadership qualities both as an educator and as CC Winn High School Math Department Head. 

Her highest priority as an educator has been and will always remain to serve the needs of her students. She embraces the challenges our our ever transitioning educational system and adapts her curriculum as well as her instructional methods without compromising her values and her students' needs. She is always willing to to sacrifice her time to help and support her school when needed, whether it is creating new opportunities for students to improve on their EOC scores or rallying students and staff at sporting events, Ms. Flores is there with a Maverick shirt on and a smile on her face. She always works countless hours afterschool to continue build the UIL Academics dynasty at Winn. 

Though she is often seen as a "hard" teacher, students appreciate her passion and dedication towards their success. Ms. Flores always goes above and beyond the call of duty to push her students to reach their fullest potential. Her energy and enthusiasm for what she does is evident in the caliber of students she produces and the achievement they attain. For all these reasons and many more, CC Winn High School's Ms. Patricia Flores is EPISD May Teacher of the Month.
