Sally Eckhart is the recipient of the January 2021 Seguin ISD Apple Award. As a Budget and Accounting Specialist, she quietly yet efficiently puts forth a ton of energy into her work day in and day out. A Seguin High School graduate and 33 year district employee, she is always cheerful and willing to help, no matter how busy her schedule is. Dr. Gutierrez presented Sally with the honor during the Jan. 19 school board meeting where she was joined by her sons.
Sheila Ramirez, Rodriguez Elementary School second grade Dual Language Teacher, received the Superintendent's Award during the Seguin ISD school board meeting of Dec. 15.
Sheila started the school year in September completely prepared to serve her students as a virtual teacher. This included converting space at home to simulate the learning environment that her students would experience in a face-to-face classroom. She embraced her new role by serving all second grade dual language virtual students, not only from her home campus of Rodriguez but also from Koennecke and Patlan elementaries. She is a highly committed and dedicated educator, under any and all circumstances, during her three years with the district.
Dr. Matthew Gutierrez, superintendent, and Yolanda Grijalva, Rodrigues ES principal, presented the award to Sheila.
