Each year, the district participates in the Teacher of the Year program by the Texas Association of School Administrators. This program begins at the district level with the opportunity to honor one educator from each Rockwall ISD campus for his or her ability to inspire students in innovative and creative ways. A selection committee then chooses the two winners after spending time in each classroom and interviewing each teacher.

This year’s selection committee was Doug Frank, Secondary ELA/LOTE Coordinator; Megan Humphrey, Elementary Math Coordinator, Grades K-6; Sarah Weaks, Rockwall ISD 2019 Elementary Teacher of the Year; Kyle Gilpin, Rockwall ISD 2019 Secondary Teacher of the Year; Renae Murphy, Chief Communications Officer for Rockwall ISD and Gary Piepenburg, Representative of Rockwall Breakfast Rotary.

Congratulations to Stacey Hawkins and Sarah Napier and good luck at the Teacher of the Year regional competition.
