Region 10 Honors
DUNCANVILLE ISD, REGION 10 B0ARD OF THE YEAR
“In addition to their unity and respect for one another, what has impressed me during the time we have worked together is how responsive and receptive the Trustees are to feedback from our stakeholders. They want to hear from our parents, teachers, and community members to determine how best to meet the needs of our students. The Trustees are committed to service to the district, and also the community.” Dr. Marc Smith, Duncanville ISD Superintendent
DR. MICHAEL HINOJOSA, REGION 10 SUPERINTENDENT OF THE YEAR
“Over a two-year period in which tornadoes destroyed several schools, the pandemic turned education upside down, and a historic snowstorm left more than half the district’s 230 schools with burst pipes and flood damage, all eyes were on leadership. Dr. Hinojosa and his team demonstrated responsive and responsible management that allowed us to surmount these challenges.”

Jose Armendariz of John J. Pershing Elementary School was named 2022 Region 10 Elementary Teacher of the Year. He is committed to serving his school, teaching global citizen skills, and embracing socio-emotional awareness through lessons that will impact student development to become our future community leaders.
His calling is to give back to the community because he is bilingual, an immigrant, and would like, not only to teach students, but also to teach their parents the meaning of education. Congratulations to Jose Armendez, our Region 10 ElementaryTeacher of the Year!
As a young girl, Chelsie Nail was encouraged and inspired by educators who positively impacted her life. She dreamed of becoming a great teacher who would influence generations of students who entered her classroom. She is fulfilling that dream as an English teacher at Howe High School.
“My role as an English teacher is to cover the basics: grammar, rhetoric, figurative language, analysis...but my role as an educator is to develop ethical, well-rounded individuals who will positively influence society," Nail shared.
Congratulations for being selected as our Region 10 Secondary Teacher of the Year!
