Among role models for new teachers are creative and inventive teachers who are recipients of national, state, and local awards and recognition. Many of our teachers are used as consultants to provide staff development activities to teachers in the division and at state and national conventions and seminars. Spotsylvania County School Division prides itself in honoring outstanding employees who provide dedicated services to the students. Each school selects a teacher of the year, and a countywide teacher of the year is selected to represent the state in its Virginia Teacher of the Year Program. Two Sally Mae first year teachers are selected annually to represent the division in a national recognition program for beginning teachers.
Employees receive service pins in five-year increments.
The School Board provides public recognition to employees for outstanding performance in many different areas. It is the policy of the Spotsylvania County School Board not to discriminate against any disabled person nor any person on the basis of race, national origin, sex, age, ancestry or marital status.
