Darlington County School District names Teachers of the Year
Twenty-three teachers will serve as their school’s 2019-2020 Teacher of the Year after being chosen for the honor by their peers.
The Darlington County Teacher of the Year Program honors and awards those teachers who exceed expectations to provide meaningful and rewarding learning experiences for the students of Darlington County.
