Teacher of The Year

Dear Education Partner

We invite you to honor our Region One Education Service Center Teachers of the Year by sponsoring a gift donation to commemorate this achievement.

Every school year, districts and charters in the region select campus Teachers of the Year nominated by their peers. Classroom teachers, school librarians and counselors are eligible to be selected as long as they teach students at least four hours per day.

Each school system selects their official District Elementary and Secondary Teachers of the Year, which then advance to the Regional level with the opportunity to be named Regional Teacher of the Year and continue advancing to the State and National competitions.

Our Regional Teacher of the Year event will be held July 31, 2025 from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm at our Region One ESC Conference Center in Edinburg.

Deadline to submit a sponsorship is June 20, 2025.

Our Teachers dedicate more than just a school day to their students each and every day. Help us honor them and their efforts by selecting a sponsorship level below. We thank you in advance for your contribution to this celebration!
‍
Sincerely, Dr. Daniel P. King
Executive Director | Region One ESC
