Congratulations to our District Secondary Teacher of Month, Patricia Tucker, World History and Economics teacher at Early College High School (ECHS).

Mrs. Tucker has taken student participation in UIL (University Interscholastic League) from non-existent to a dominating force. Her success and the success of the students she leads is a great example to the community and the outside world of the greatness that is ECHS. She and the students she takes with her to competitions are great ambassadors of the campus. In addition to UIL, Mrs. Tucker recently took on the Stock Market challenge and led the students well in that opportunity.

Mrs. Tucker is not only a mentor but also a role model, demonstrating to her students the power of continuous learning and adaptability. She is always willing to learn new technologies and strategies, keeping her classroom dynamic and engaging while fostering a love for learning among her students. She continues to find ways to engage her students with the material and is extremely knowledgeable in her content.

Mrs. Tucker's empathy and understanding create a supportive environment where students feel valued and motivated to excel. She is loved by her students and is very understanding when students need grace.
