Gail Frantz of Peeples Elementary, the 2015 Fayette County Teacher of the Year, receives a special ring on her right hand in her honor. School Superintendent Dr. Joseph Barrow (R) presents Frantz with the official Fayette County Teacher of the Year ring just prior to the start of school. Each year, Balfour donates the special ring to the winner. As the county’s reigning teacher of the year, Frantz will represent Fayette in the 2017 Georgia Teacher of the Year competition. The finalists will be announced spring 2016. In the photo, Barrow presents Frantz with her official ring in front of fellow teachers and staff members at Peeples Elementary where she teachers fifth-grade math and science.
