Education Service Center Region 13 is proud to announce Joshua Sibley, Social Studies Teacher at Ki Charter in San Marcos, as the latest recipient of the Region 13 Star of the Month award. This recognition highlights Sibley’s dedication, leadership and unwavering commitment to his students and colleagues.
Sibley is a powerful and positive force on campus. He fosters a strong school culture by championing initiatives that bring students together, including the development of a campus mascot. He advocates for both students and staff, ensuring that tasks are completed efficiently while maintaining a calm and uplifting demeanor. His collaborative approach extends beyond the classroom, as he frequently works with other departments to create meaningful cross-curricular opportunities for students.
“When we think of Sibley, he is the definition of timeliness, humbleness, diligence and dedication,” the Ki Charter Superintendent Jerry Lager, PhD, said. “He arrives every day ready to serve, setting a standard of professionalism and commitment that inspires those around him. Though he has never pursued a formal leadership role, his peers naturally look to him for guidance, recognizing his servant leadership.”
The Region 13 Star of the Month award is designed to honor outstanding public school employees who leave a lasting impact on their students and colleagues. Any school employee — whether a teacher, principal, paraprofessional, bus driver, cafeteria worker, superintendent or coach — can be nominated for this recognition. Each month, ESC Region 13 collaborates with local public school support systems to celebrate individuals who exemplify excellence in education.
ESC Region 13 Executive Director Rich Elsasser, PhD, and the ESC Region 13 Deputy Executive team presented Sibley with the Star of the Month award on Feb. 14. ESC Region 13 congratulates Sibley on this well-deserved honor and thanks him for his ongoing contributions to the Ki Charter community. His dedication to education and commitment to fostering a positive school culture make him an invaluable asset to his students, colleagues and the broader educational community.
