The 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.
Mr. Jose Jimenez, of C.C. Winn High School, has been selected as the “Teacher of the Month” for April 2015. Mr. Jimenez demonstrates every characteristic of an accomplished veteran educator. He continually exhibits outstanding dedication, professionalism, and a genuine passion for teaching. As an expert of his subject, Mr. Jimenez frequently stays abreast of recent technological advancements and updates his course material accordingly. Mr. Jimenez routinely attends professional development and training courses to broaden his skill set. In addition to personal development, he has been the UIL coordinator for the past six years and has led C. C. Winn High School to their first ever District Title in UIL academics.
In addition to leadership qualities, he epitomizes the definition of team player by consistently helping other teachers with lessons and activities. Mr. Jimenez is known as a tough, but extremely fair and approachable teacher that is admired by his students and respected by parents. Most importantly, Mr. Jimenez selflessly provides assistance to students who need additional help and encourages them toward success with his methods. It is because of all these reasons Mr. Jimenez is our “Teacher of the Month” for April 2015.
