This week, teachers across Tallapoosa County received special recognition as a part of Teacher Appreciation Week, with county school districts hosting events to honor local educators. 

Alexander City Schools Public Relations Specialist Jessica Sanford noted this year’s celebrations as especially significant given that teachers have gone above and beyond the line of duty during the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years.
