2020 - 2021 Teacher of the Year

  On Monday, August 9th, EPISD Superintendent, Mr. Samuel Mijares and EPISD Deputy Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, Mr. John Cox recognized the 2020 - 2021 Teacher of the Year!

The dynamic duo surprised the chosen teacher at her perspective campuses with goodies galore. It was smiles all around as not only was the Teacher of the Year surprised with the great news, but the entire campus as well!

Mrs. Nelly Cantu from Benavides Heights Elementary was named the 2020 - 2021 Teacher of the Year and boy, was it well-deserved. Mrs. Cantu is an unsung hero as she leads one of the district's premier Life Skills units. She helps not only her fellow Bulldogs, but the district as a whole as her classroom is used as a model for other Life Skills units to duplicate. 

Mrs. Cantu was showered with prizes courtesy of EPISD, Ashley Furniture, Border Federal Credit Union, and Peter Piper Pizza!

Congratulations Mrs. Cantu and thank you for all you have done for your students and our district!
