Aldine ISD Announces the 2020-2021 Campus Teachers of the Year

Disponible en: Español

Dawn Brimhall and Yvonne Lopez-Taylor, center, were selected Aldine ISD’s top educators at the Educator of the Year Breakfast held Friday, March 6, 2020, at the Hilton North Houston Hotel. Brimhall was named the district’s Secondary Teacher of the Year, while Lopez-Taylor was named the district’s Elementary Teacher of the Year. Pictured with them are Aldine ISD Board President Paul Shanklin, Superintendent Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney, members of the Aldine ISD Board of Trustees, AEF President David Smith, and the four district-wide finalists.


During the Fall semester, each Aldine ISD school chooses a Campus Teacher of the Year. In February, a committee names six as District Finalists based upon their written applications. The six finalists are invited to interview with the district coordinating committee and are honored at the Aldine ISD Educators of the Year Breakfast in March.

During the breakfast, one of the finalists is announced as Elementary Teacher of the Year and one is announced as Secondary Teacher of the Year. The Elementary and Secondary Teacher of the Year will both represent Aldine ISD in the Region 4 Teacher of the Year Contest that occurs during the summer. 

Congratulations to the 2020-2021 Campus Teachers of the Year!
