TEACHER OF THE WEEK
Eric Herrington- Fifth Grade- Teacher
Hi, my name is Eric Herrington. I am originally from Ottumwa, Iowa. I have a wonderful wife, Sharon Herrington. This past summer we celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary. Sharon is a receptionist for an area dental office and graduated magna cum laude from First Baptist Academy in Dallas and completed her Biology Degree at Austin College in Sherman, TX. Sharon is an avid reader. We have one son Colin Herrington who is in 3rd grade in Mrs. Urban's class. Colin is a wonderful writer and is working on his third short story involving pirates and their adventures. Colin enjoys his Chavez classes, karate, and chess club this year. I graduated from Emmaus Bible College in Dubuque, IA in 1992, with a Bachelor Degree. I then moved to the Dallas area in 1992 in order to study biblical literature at Dallas Theological Seminary where I received a Th.M. (Masters in Theology) in 2001. I completed my ESL certification coursework at Texas A&M Commerce campus.
This is my first year teaching at Chavez Elementary and I just love it already! I really feel a part of the Chavez family. I have had the privilege of teaching 5th grade now for 15 years and have had the opportunity now to teach each of the subjects.
