Please join us in congratulating SGHS' Teacher of the Year, Candace Spivey, pictured here with our Interim Principal, Ryan Queen!
The local school honorees will move into the next phase of the TOTY process as they are considered for the system-wide honor. In October, this group will be narrowed down to 25 semifinalists. Six finalists from that group will be chosen in November. On January 28, 2027, at 6:30 p.m., GCPS will host a banquet celebration honoring all local school teachers, naming this year’s level winners, and naming the top teacher in Gwinnett County.
The GCPS TOTY program is aligned with the state and national Teacher of the Year programs. The educator named district TOTY will officially serve from July 2027 – June 2028 and will apply to be the state TOTY in the fall of 2027.
