El Monte City School District (EMCSD) celebrated Jaime Reyes from New Lexington School as the district’s official Teacher of the Year. He was also recognized by the Los Angeles County Office of Education at their annual Teachers of the Year Luncheon this Fall.

 

Mr. Reyes is a proud product of EMCSD, attending both Shirpser and Gidley Schools before returning as an after-school ASPIRE lead and substitute teacher. “Those two jobs prepared me so much for what I do today. As a former student, I always knew that I wanted to give back to my community.”

We are featured in the latest edition of School News! This magazine spotlights each EMCSD school, including our Child Development Department and the Jeff Seymour Family Center. See all the wonderful happenings throughout our district including a message from your principals. The issue is published in English and Spanish.
