School district selects teachers of the year

Following the conclusion of the 2022–2023 school year, Dripping Springs ISD recognized two of its district-wide teaching staff for their annual Teacher of the Year awards.

At the DSISD Board of Trustees meeting on May 23, the district announced Jennifer Mc-Ginnis and Dan Shane as the District Elementary and Secondary Teachers of the Year, respectively. McGinnis and Shane were chosen following an interview with a selection committee and will now represent DSISD in the Region 13 Teacher of the Year selection process this summer.

A third-grade teacher at Walnut Springs Elementary, McGinnis is in her fourth year teaching for DSISD. Prior to arriving in Dripping Springs, she spent 18 years teaching in Illinois where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Elmhurst College.
