In Clarendon County School District, we recognize that it takes a village to educate and empower our children and build a culture of learning in our schools. Our teachers play an important role in ensuring that our students have a safe environment to excel and that change happens in the lives of our young adults, families, and the community. We recognize outstanding teachers who positively impact Clarendon County School District with our school Teacher of the Year selections. Their colleagues nominate those receiving awards for excellence in their classroom and positive contributions to Clarendon County School District and will compete for District Teacher of the Year honors.
