State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge announced the finalists for 2013 Georgia Teacher of the Year and for the third year in a row Savannah-Chatham’s Teacher of the Year has been named a state finalist! In Savannah-Chatham, selecting the district’s Teacher of the Year comes as a year-long effort that combines an intensive application process, panel interviews, and classroom observations.
“This is truly a great accomplishment for Mrs. Konter and one that we can all take pride in. The Teacher of the Year program is a major highlight for our district and this community. It showcases the dedicated, and very talented, educators that serve our children each day,” said Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Thomas Lockamy. “The state level recognition is representative of the high quality teachers found throughout all schools in Savannah-Chatham County.”
Here’s an example of how the school system is making changes to better the education of the area students:
Construction has begun for the new wing of the Largo-Tibet Elementary School.

Also, a new canopy will connect the existing campus and bus canopy plus all data, fire alarm, and intercom systems will connect back to the existing facilities.
