Region 12 2009 Secondary Teacher of the Year
Pat Schronk,
Hubbard ISD
Secondary TOTY recipient Schronk has been teaching at Hubbard ISD her entire career of 34 years. She began teaching middle school language arts/reading, and now currently teaches high school family and consumer science education (homemaking), trades/work program classes, and speech. She also serves as secondary library coordinator.
Schronk has also been named as the Hubbard Secondary School Teacher of the Year for the 2007-2008 school year. She is listed in Who’s Who of American Women in 2008 and Who’s Who in American Education and has been included numerous times in the past. She has also served as a member of Delta Kappa Gamma. Schronk participates in the ESC Region 12 Teacher Mentoring Program and has mentored several new teachers. Schronk demonstrates a continued willingness and helpfulness to assist as many new and prospective teachers as she can. One of Schronk's great teaching passions is her work with the Adult Education/GED program. She has been involved with this area of education for 33 years and finds it to be a wonderful and very rewarding experience.
Born and raised in rural Hubbard, Schronk was lead and inspired by a strong group of faculty educators who not only taught in schools, but lead by example for their community. These educators cared about each individual and knew the families of their students. It was this loving concern that motivated Schronk to emulate these highly respected teachers. It is the ultimate honor for Schronk to be recognized by the same women who were her initial inspiration into teaching. Her philosophy of teaching is to educate each unique individual in his or her own way and to develop these students into life-long, universal learners. Her most significant accomplishments include: her loyalty and dedication to the teaching profession, her flexibility on teaching multiple disciplines and her accountability and responsibility to the students and residents of the Hubbard community.
