2020 Teacher of the Year Gala Canceled
Due to COVID-19, the postponed 2020 Teacher of the Year Gala that was scheduled for September 3 has been canceled. Tickets and event/table sponsorships will be refunded in the coming weeks through the payment method in which they were originally paid (e.g., payment transfer or check). If you have any questions about a refund, please contact Barbara Monroe. For general gala questions, contact Brittnea Ussery.
While the district is saddened to not be able to celebrate all of the 2020 nominees, finalists and winners together this year, we greatly appreciate the support of the staff members, PTAs, families, students and community members who helped show all of our Teacher of the Year honorees just how much they are valued and appreciated.
