Congratulations to our semifinalists for Gwinnett County Teacher of the Year (TOTY)! The field of 138 local school TOTYs has been narrowed to this group of 25 semifinalists. (Watch for more on our semifinalists in the coming weeks.) The next difficult step for a team of judges will be selecting just six finalists for consideration for the district title. We'll learn who those finalists are in October, then, we wait. On Nov. 9, at a gala banquet, the district will announce the county TOTY and level winners. Stay tuned!
