#GCPSTOTY #PromiseTeacher #GCPSPromise

The last couple of weeks, 137 local school TOTYs— the outstanding teachers selected by their peers to represent their school as Teacher of the Year— have been celebrated by their school communities. Enjoy these scenes from around the county as TOTYs don crowns, cut cakes, pose for photos, and celebrate with their students. Watch for an announcement of our TOTY semifinalists later this month.
