Berkeley County School District is excited to acknowledge its 47 Teachers of the Year for the 2025-2026 school year.
The district's Teacher of the Year committee will soon select the district's top eight teachers who will be in the running for being named the district-level Teacher of the Year. The selection will then be further narrowed down to the top three teachers.
BCSD's district-level winner will be named during the Teacher of the Year Breakfast hosted by the Chamber of Commerce at Trident Technical College in April.
Congratulations to these outstanding educators for continuing to make a positive difference at their schools!
