Governor Brian Kemp recently appointed Tadmore Elementary School teacher Christy Edwards to the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.
The Hall County School District said Edwards has been with the school system for 14 years and currently serves as the Language Lab Teacher at Tadmore Elementary.
Hall County Schools Superintendent Will Schofield celebrated her appointment. “We could not be prouder of Christy. Her commitment to students, to the craft of teaching, and to professional growth embodies the values we hold dear in Hall County. She will be an incredible voice on behalf of educators and students across the state. We are honored to have one of our own serve on such an important commission.”
Edwards is one of three educators across Georgia selected to join the Commission, which oversees preparation, certification and ethical standards for educators in the state.
Edwards will become a member of the 18-person Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) during its August 2025 meeting. The Commission, which includes nine active classroom teachers, plays a vital role in upholding the quality and integrity of Georgia’s education workforce.
“I am truly honored and excited to be appointed to the Georgia Professional Standards Commission,” Edwards said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and support the important work of maintaining strong professional standards for educators across our state. As an educator, I believe it is important to keep growing and learning, so I’m looking forward to working alongside other educators and leaders who are passionate about education. It is an honor to be part of something that helps strengthen our profession and positively impact students across Georgia.”
Edwards has taught second, fourth, and fifth grades and has also supported the Early Intervention Program.
