East Central ISD is proud to be a part of the "Go Public" campaign, promoting public education! Great things are happening in our schools and we are proud of our phenomenal accomplishments as a public school system!
We are a bit of a different type of organization… one that doesn’t invest energy in education reform but rather in celebrating what’s right with our schools. Contrary to popular opinion and the day’s headlines, our public schools are performing remarkably well...
During the February East Central Independent School District Board Meeting, five individuals were recognized for their efforts to help create exceptional learning environments for their campuses:
Josie Torres was nominated by Mr. Howard Weaver. Ms. Torres is a custodian at East Central High School and according to Mr. Howard, she is the hardest working custodian he has ever met in his 26 years in education. She comes to work every morning with a smile and greets eveyone she sees. She does her job with tremendous pride and a servant's heart. She motivates others to do their best each day. Because of her efforts, she was awarded a Gold Star award for exceptional customer service.
Carmen Nuñez, custodian at Legacy Middle School, was awarded a Gold Star for personal accountability. She can be seen assisting in many areas, but most recently, Ms. Nuñez was known to assist administration when a student left campus without permission. She kept her eye on the student until administration was able to arrive and assist. Because of her efforts, the situation was managed in a positive manner and the student remained safe and was returned to campus without incident.
Erica Hernandez, prekindergarten teacher at East Central Development Center, was recognized for going out of her way to seek donations for the campus to build outdoor learning spaces for their prekindergarten children of all abilities. She individually contacted Lowes and other vendors to collect building materials and donations. She even had tires that were set to be salvaged donated for the project. It was because of her selfless efforts for the benefit of all students that she earned a Gold Star for fiscal responsibility.
Paige Pieniazek, despite obstacles and opposition, maintains a high standard of academic and behavioral expectations from her classes. Peers are amazed at her ability to maintain a classroom with sound procedures and an exceptional classroom culture of self management, safety and peer support to create success. It is because of her unwavering expectation that she has earned a Gold Star for perseverance.
Gail Pieniazek, academic dean for East Central High School, earned a Gold Star for embodying the value of loyalty. She has been a dedicated and committed EC Family member for over a decade and has had a significant impact on the lives of students, staff, parents, and the greater EC community. her genuine love, care, and compassion for others are an example of her servant leadership and devotion to improving the lives of those around her. Her loyalty to her family, school, district and community runs deep. It is because of her dedication to this school district that she will leave a lasting legacy in this district. She is a true difference maker in the lives of many.
I know my mother sees from up above but I still wish I could tell her and see her smiling face that we did it! I would [like] to thank her for being so brave leaving her home in Puerto Rico to pursue education in the United States for a shot at a better life for her family. Until I get the chance to do so in heaven, I will thank her by continuing her life work advocating for a better education and equal opportunity for all students just like she did for me.
To write my story. A story that is similar to so many. Yet bigger than all of ours combined. To have a chance to share all our voices for the Trinity [Prize for Excellence in Teaching] has me moved to tears between typing. I am undeserving of this moment but I am incredibly humbled at the opportunity. If it means I conquer this mountain just to help even one student walk further through their journey, maybe then they will feel stronger and more confident to face their mountains because together we can MOVE mountains. So I will write. Write my heart and soul into continuing all of our story because [this award] isn’t all about winning a prize. Its greater than that. It’s a chance to share to leaders in our greater San Antonio area that our students at ECISD matter and deserve to move mountains.
Thank you everyone for y'all's support and love!"
October 19, 2017, multiple employees from the school district were given recognition awards through our District Recognition Program.
The goal of this program is to recognize employees for their efforts in exhibiting the values of our learning organization at the highest levels. ECISD core values are:
Kevin Laymance, who serves as the building mechanic at East Central Development Center, was recognized for personal accountability. Mr. Laymance took ownership of tasks and situations and wasted no time in completing building inspections and creating necessary work orders to create a safe learning environment for our youngest learners. He was recommended for this award by Mr. Damon Trainer, principal of ECDC, because he is conscientious and precise work ethic.
Whitney Weddel was hired during the current academic year to teach the students pursuing their CNA certification. In an effort to provide the best learning opportunities, she assisted the district with hiring a supplemental instructor and took on a second job to gain the most experience to pass along to ECISD students. Dr. Holmon, CTE Specialist, nominated Ms. Weddel because of her willingness to go above and beyond for her students.
The East Central High School coaching staff were recognized by board member, Claudia Barrientos. Cabmri Plasek, Jasmine Hales, Shelley Hayes, and Suzette Arriola were all recognized for their efforts in organizing a Pink Out volleyball game to honor breast cancer survivors and remember those lost to the disease. The coaching team, along with their players, raised money by selling raffle items and collecting donations to give to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. In East Central, it's not only about educating our students to become high school graduates, but it's about educating them to care and service the community.
East Central ISD partners with the San Antonio Police Department to pilot the Handle With Care Program.
