2024 Global Awards

Celebrating Our Teachers of the Year
Across Fayette County Public Schools, staff and students are saluting their campus’ newly crowned Global Awards honoree. Each Teacher of the Year was selected by their peers, with input from administrators, based on who excels in supporting our district’s mission.
