A Lewisville ISD teacher is one step closer to bringing the Texas Teacher of the Year trophy back to Flower Mound High School for a second year in a row. Mary McMinimy, an academic life skills teacher at Flower Mound High School, was named the ESC Region 11 Teacher of the Year at the organization’s banquet Thursday. The special education teacher from Flower Mound was one of five finalists for the honor at the secondary level. McMinimy and Hill will now advance to compete at the state level for the Texas Teacher of the Year award, which is selected by the Texas Association of School Administrators’ selection committee. Last year, Tim Fails, a geography teacher at Flower Mound High School’s 9th grade campus, won the TASA Texas Teacher of the Year award.
