Georgia School Superintendent Richard Woods: May is Teacher Appreciation Month – thank you, Georgia teachers!

In Georgia, the month of May is recognized as Teacher Appreciation Month in honor of the world-class educators serving students in our K-12 public schools. This month is a time to recognize, celebrate, and lift up the teachers who give so much of themselves to prepare all Georgia students for life.

Letter from Superintendent Woods to Georgia teachers: 

Join us in celebrating Georgia teachers!

 This year, we are asking Georgians to team up with us and celebrate the powerful impact of teachers. Join us by recording a “Because of a teacher, I am a ______” video to express your gratitude! Click here to submit – the first videos will go live soon! If you have any questions, please direct them to social@doe.k12.ga.us.

We’d also love to see and share your community’s Teacher Appreciation Month celebrations – share with #thankyouGAteachers24. Thank you for joining us to celebrate our state’s outstanding educators!
