Congratulations to the 2021 Lancaster County School District Teachers of the Year! All 24 teachers will complete a video of instruction and references from colleagues and principals will be submitted to be graded by a panel of judges using a rubric. Out of these submissions, the top five teachers will be selected. These top 5 will be interviewed by the district’s instructional directors, and from these teachers, the 2021 District Teacher of the Year will be selected.
