This week, our schools have been celebrating a Vision of Excellence… our 2019-20 local school Teachers of the Year (TOTY)! These outstanding educators— selected by their peers to represent their schools as TOTY— keep their focus on teaching and learning and success for all students. In these photos, find school TOTY celebrations from around the county. And watch for an announcement of our TOTY semifinalists later this month.
