Stephens Co. School System Names Teacher of Year

Liberty Elementary School art teacher Timothy Mitchell is this year’s Stephens County School System Teacher of the Year.

The announcement came last week.

Each year, the Stephens County School System selects its Teacher of the Year from a group of individuals named the Teacher of the Year at each Stephens County school.

Besides Mitchell, who was also named the Liberty Elementary Teacher of the Year, the other school-level teachers of the year are Jodi Plaisted at Big A Elementary, James Horton at Toccoa Elementary, Diane Harrison at the 5th Grade Academy, Audrey Williams at Stephens County Middle School and Margaret Alewine at Stephens County High School.

Mitchell will now represent Stephens County in the statewide Teacher of the Year competition for 2015-2016.
