Cecilio Lara

 

Cecil Lara has been an educator with the San Antonio ISD for the last 34 years. He began his career as a football coach and math teacher at Brackenridge High School. In 1980 he became the Head Football Coach and Athletic Coordinator at Wheatley High School. After completing his marketing certification in 1985, Cecil became the Marketing/Cooperative Education Coordinator and DECA Advisor at Lanier HS. He is presently the Marketing Teacher at

Brackenridge HS.

 

“Teaching marketing and becoming involved with the business community has been most rewarding,” according to Lara. “Everything I do and teach has a direct impact on my students' degree of readiness for tomorrow's ever-changing workplace. My involvement and participation in local, state, and national professional organizations provide me the opportunity to keep pace with the many changing faces of the business community and Corporate America in general. The professional development conferences and seminars I attend yearly allow me to share my many continual learning experiences with my students in the classroom.”

 

Cecil was the 1996 Region IV Marketing Teacher of the Year, the Texas Marketing Teacher of the Year, and has served as the Marketing Educators of Texas Association President, the Texas State ACTE President, Immediate Past-President of the MEA National Foundation Board, and is currently the MEABoard President. He also serves on three non-profit boards back in San Antonio; Inman Christian Center, Southtown Neighborhood Alliance, and is Vice-President of the National Hispanic Sports Foundation for Education.
