GCPS can, and does, boast of its talented and dedicated teaching corps. This year, these stellar educators have selected 134 of their own to represent them as local school Teachers of the Year (TOTYs). In October, GCPS will name 25 semifinalists, selected by a panel of former TOTYs and administrators. A second panel will review applications of the semifinalists to determine the six finalists. At a banquet on Nov. 10, level winners and the county Teacher of the Year will be announced. We thank all of our teachers for their passion for teaching and learning and congratulate these 134 teachers for this special honor!
