“The Distinguished Teacher Awards Committee received so many outstanding nominations this year,” DTAC Co-Chairs Linda Shirley and Judy Soto collectively said, adding, “It is an affirmation of the amazing, talented and dedicated teachers that comprise the Greenwich Public School system. We are indeed fortunate to live in an area that values education and strives to provide the best teachers for our students and community.”

On Thursday, May 8 the community gathered at Central Middle School to celebrate the amazing teachers at the Distinguished Teachers Award ceremony.

Nominations for GPS Distinguished Teachers are submitted by students, parents, and colleagues in early March each year. Each member of the Distinguished Teachers Awards Committee (DTAC), Inc. reviews every nomination packet. At the annual “vote meeting” in April, DTAC members submit their ballots anonymously and without discussion. The ballots are tallied and the six teachers with the most votes are selected to receive the Distinguished Teacher Award. The Distinguished Teachers Awards Committee includes no more than 20 members, with representatives from The Board of Education, The Greenwich Education Association (GEA), The Greenwich Organization of School Administrators (GOSA), the PTA Council, members of community organizations, parents, and many previously named Greenwich Distinguished Teachers.
