ESC Region 19 Teacher of the Year Hall of Fame

  •  

    ESC Region 19 is proud to have so many ESC19 Teacher of the Year winners become Texas Teachers of the Year.

     

    Each teacher has a unique story but all are a great representation of our region’s gold mine of phenomenal educators. It’s no surprise that a record number of NINE teachers, so far, from our region have won the Texas State Teacher of the Year title.

     

    Next time you visit Education Service Center Region 19, take a stroll down our Teachers Hall of Fame hallway and admire all of the outstanding teachers who not only represented your own district & school but also our entire region with distinction. The Hall of Fame teachers are constantly displayed on screens hung by the Horizon Room at ESC19 Building A. Teachers who have won the Texas state title are distinguished with a gold border frame.

    LEGACY

     

    For nearly three decades, ESC Region 19 has proudly presented the Teacher of the Year (TOY) program. ESC 19 annually showcases district teachers who have emerged as champions in their profession, and have impacted and inspired students to unforetold heights in all aspects of their lives.

     

    Our ESC 19 Teachers of the Year represent not only the best in their districts but are among the most consistently recognized as the best in Texas, having gone on to win NINE Texas Teacher of the Year Awards!

     

    INSPIRATION

     

    We encourage you to watch our past winners' "Videos & Pictures" section and be inspired by these marvelous teachers' words and passion for education! 

     

    CELEBRATION

     

    You can relive the excitement of our awards celebration on our YouTube Channel ESCRegion19 which was streamed LIVE on August 12, 2023 from the ESC19 Starlight Event Center. All regional teachers of the year were recognized, but only one elementary and one secondary teacher of the year will go on to represent our region at the state level.
