Nominations are now being accepted for the 2017 Anne Arundel County Public Schools Teacher of the Year and the Independent Schools Teacher of the Year awards.
Nominees and winners will be honored at the 31st annual Excellence in Education awards, set for Wednesday, April 26, 2017, at the BWI Marriott hotel in Linthicum. Last year, more than 40 top educators and a host of businesses were nominated for awards.
The 2017 AACPS Teacher of the Year will represent the county in the Maryland State Teacher of the Year competition. AACPS has had four finalists for the state honor in the last five years.
