Deanna DominguezEdinburg High School, Edinburg, Texas
Volleyball coach and special education teacher Deanna Dominguez’s attention to detail improves students’ ability to retain information. She does homebound instruction, going to students’ homes if they have medical reasons that prevent them from attending school. As a coach, Deanna has her players participate in Adopt An Angel and the KIDS Learning Center Halloween Festival. She also fundraises for scholarships and created, with her volleyball team, a night to honor the teachers who inspired them. Her nominator, former Edinburg educational diagnostician Elizabeth Garza, said Deanna’s leadership causes others around her to work at a higher level.
