SC Teacher of the Year Program

SC Teacher of the Year Program

The NSTOY is a professional service organization made up of outstanding teachers who represent excellence in American education. Each member has previously been state recipient of a Council of Chief State School Officers award as Teacher of the Year.

Mission: NSTOY endeavors to

  • Promote a positive image of education through public awareness
  • Be actively involved in the recruitment of dedicated people into the field of teaching
  • Stimulate the professional growth of NSTOY members.
The SC NSTOY Chapter, under the auspices of the CERRA, co-hosts a luncheon annually for the SC Teacher of the Year finalists.  The South Carolina Teacher of the Year program began in 1956 and the honor has been awarded annually since 1965. In the 46-year history of the program, there have been two National Teachers of the Year from South Carolina and 12 honorees National finalists. This list includes all winners:

Leadership is a Journey ​
In spite of the many variances in our pathways as teacher leaders, there are commonalities and lessons to learn from those who have walked these steps ahead of us.

What you will find in this book are words from many of the Veteran State Teachers of the Year. They are offering you their personal definition of teacher leadership based on their expertise and their experiences, and they are sharing their insights and their stories. ​
