Meet the 2026 Teacher of the Year finalists!

Out of a group of 141 local school Teachers of the Year named earlier this fall, then narrowed to 25 semifinalists, a selection committee had the difficult task of selecting this year's finalists. One of these six finalists will be named Gwinnett's 2026 Teacher of the Year at a school district celebration on January 30. Special thanks to this year's sponsors who make this celebration possible and help us to recognize all local school Teachers of the Year!
