Whitney Andino is Lamar's Teacher of the Year

By Kay S. Pedrotti

Surprised to the point of blushing, Whitney Andino couldn’t stop smiling as she was told she is Teacher of the Year for the Lamar County school system.

Each year the title is held secret after the four schools choose their teacher of the year. Andino seemed delighted but also embarrassed to be given the honor, announced last week at the Lamar County middle school. She said getting to the title of TOTY for the system was “a complicated process.” She will be among the candidates for Georgia’s teacher of the year.
