McDONOUGH — Six teachers got a surprise start to the 2020-21 school year as they were named semifinalists for the Henry County Schools Teacher of the Year.
Every school in the district announced their respective teacher of the year prior to school letting out for the summer. Each of those teachers wishing to compete for the district’s top teaching honor had to complete an extensive application, which was then reviewed by a selection committee. The application process involved, among other things, candidates answering a series of questions aimed at highlighting their classroom influence, understanding of the major education topics beyond their classroom, and involvement inside the building and beyond the school walls.
