Super Star Teacher

Introducing...... the Greater Vidalia® Super Star Teacher program!

This program recognizes exceptional teachers in the Toombs-Montgomery area.

How does this work?

Each month, community members will have an opportunity to nominate teachers who have positively impacted their lives. A group of Chamber volunteers will surprise the Super Star Teacher with gifts, accolades, and social media recognition via video.

Any K–12 teacher in the Toombs – Montgomery area from public & private schools can be nominated. A volunteer committee will select one teacher from within the area schools each month. All nominations will be kept confidential. Teachers not receiving the Super Star Teacher designation are eligible for renomination. 

Nominations for January 2024 Super Star Teacher will be open from December 1st – December 15th.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Amber O’Connor at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Nominate an exceptional teacher here: https://form.jotform.com/232705827355056
