CCSD Names 2018-19 Teachers Of The Year

CANTON, GA — The Cherokee County School District has released the list of educators who were named Teachers of the Year at their respective schools.

Each school in the district is asked to choose its own Teacher of the Year at the beginning of the school year. The school-level winners now are eligible for the honor of Cherokee County School District 2019 Teacher of the Year.

The district-wide competition will be judged by a panel of retired educators and community partners based on applications submitted by the school-level winners. The system-level winner will be surprised in his or her classroom by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian Hightower in the fall and will be honored, along with each school’s winner, at the 2018 Legacy Makers: CCSD Teachers of the Year Celebration in November. The CCSD winner will be entered into the Georgia Teacher of the Year competition.
