🎉📚 Honoring Excellence in Teaching 📚🎉

We are proud to celebrate our National Board Certified Teachers, who were pinned today at the Region VII ceremony—one of the highest professional honors in education.

Out of 41 educators recognized across Region VII, 7 are from Palestine ISD, a powerful testament to the exceptional teaching taking place in our classrooms every day.

👏 Congratulations to our newly pinned Palestine ISD educators:
• Myra Hernandez
• Dana Mathews
• Donna Alonso
• Faith Collins

These educators proudly join fellow National Board Certified teachers Jessica Jenkins, Sandra Bristow and Emily Foote, strengthening Palestine ISD’s culture of instructional excellence.

✨ What does it mean to be National Board Certified?
National Board Certification is the most rigorous, voluntary certification process for educators. It recognizes teachers who meet the highest standards of teaching excellence through a multi-year process that includes:
• In-depth analysis of teaching practice
• Student work samples and classroom videos
• Data-driven reflection on student learning
• Demonstrated impact on student achievement

Teachers pursuing this distinction invest hundreds of hours refining their craft, reflecting deeply on instruction, and demonstrating their impact on student learning—all while continuing to teach full time.

We are incredibly proud of these educators for their dedication and for representing Palestine ISD with distinction at the regional level.
