In Their Own Words: Meet PGCPS’ 2025-26 Teacher of the Year Honorees

February 27, 2025
 
Annually, Prince George County Public Schools' campuses select their Teacher of the Year following a nomination and selection process in late winter. These men and women are then entered for potential selection as the division's teacher of the Year later in the spring.
 
On Monday, March 9, 2026, the division and Prince George School Board will celebrate our building-level winners and name the division's Teacher of the Year during a celebration at the Prince George County Administration Building beginning at 6:30 p.m. These individuals will be honored for their excellence in supporting the educational needs of the children of Prince George County.
