At last night’s meeting of the Chattooga County Schools Board of Education, Superintendent Jimmy Lenderman announced that Rachel Groce had been selected as the district’s Teacher of the Year for 2019-2020.

Mrs. Groce is a kindergarten teacher at Leroy Massey Elementary School since 2015. By winning this award, she will have the opportunity to compete for state Teacher of the Year.

Teachers of the Year are selected a full school year before the year they hold the award, in order to give nominees time to compete for state TOTY.

Congratulations to Mrs. Groce!
