Local educators honored as schools select 2027 Teachers of the Year
The first step of the district’s search for its 2027 GCPS Teacher of the Year (TOTY) is complete, and the local school Teachers of the Year have been designated as final selections in their schools. GCPS congratulates these educators for their positive impact on students.
How Does E-SPLOST Help My Child?
- Clean, safe, comfortable classrooms to learn in and lunchrooms to eat in.
- School safety, including school police vehicles, weapons detectors, and better visitor check-in systems.
- New and well-maintained buses for safe and reliable rides to and from school.
- Safe and well-lit athletic fields.
- Less crowding in schools through classroom additions.
- Learning tools like student devices, lab equipment, textbooks, digital resources, and musical instruments.
E-SPLOST funds provide essential support for school safety, facilities, technology, and learning tools, while allowing general fund dollars to stay focused on teaching and learning. Visit our website for more details on our Capital Plan and for more information about how we use E-SPLOST funds in GCPS.
GCPS SAT Results: Thousands of students taking the next step
GCPS students once again showed strong participation and achievement on the SAT, with more than 12,700 test-takers in the Class of 2025 — by far the largest number in Georgia. GCPS students earned an average score of 1003* (Evidence-Based Reading & Writing: 501, Math: 501. *Please note that individual mean scores are rounded to the nearest whole number. As a result, the sum of these rounded values may not precisely equal the combined mean score.)

College and Career Readiness: 2025 Congressional App Challenge
Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) announced the opening of submissions for his 2025 Congressional App Challenge (CAC), a nationwide competition encouraging students to develop their coding and programming skills while promoting STEM education. This nationwide effort allows students to compete against their peers by creating an application for mobile, tablet, or computer devices. The challenge invites students from Georgia’s 4th District to submit their original app creations for a chance to showcase their innovation, creativity, and technical expertise.
To enter, students must register on the Official Congressional App Challenge website. The deadline for app submissions is October 30, 2025, at noon, so students are encouraged to start working on their projects today!
National School Lunch Week is October 13-17
As part of the celebration, the GCPS School Nutrition Program will be featuring the Chicken Churrasco Bowl district-wide on Wednesday, October 15. This recipe was created by the Berkmar High School Culinary Team and won the Georgia Department of Education Student Chef Competition last school year. It’s a great example of student creativity and culinary excellence, and we’re excited to showcase it across our schools.
