Local educator to be remembered with renaming of Seguin ISD building Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The efforts and contributions of a deeply respected educator in the Seguin ISD will forever be preserved. The Seguin ISD Board of Trustees on Tuesday unanimously approved the renaming of the Mercer-Blumberg Learning Center’s portion of the district’s administration building to the Jack Lee Learning Center. Lee died on Aug. 18, 2019 at the age of 66. After a month of soliciting name nominations from the community, trustees voted to honor the late educator who spent over 35 years in local classrooms. The board’s decision was made final after receiving 16 official nominations on his behalf. Among those submitting a
nomination was former student Mariaelena Ramirez Boyle. Currently a surgery resident at the University of Michigan, Boyle writes, “Early in my academic career, Mr. Lee gave me the grace to complete my work when I navigated some difficult situations at home. He encouraged me to continue with my education, and to prioritize it despite the barriers in front of me.” Mike Gonzales, Seguin High School head baseball coach, was also among those who felt compelled to continue Lee’s legacy. Having now returned to the district as a coach, Gonzales says he better understands the importance of building lifelong relationships with students. Educator, pg. 2
