A Jones County middle school teacher has been named the 2027 Georgia Teacher of the Year.
Charm Mapp, an eighth-grade math teacher at Clifton Ridge Middle School, received the recognition after being named the 2025 Jones County Teacher of the Year.
State School Superintendent Richard Woods announced the selection at a banquet, according to a news release from Georgia College and State University.
“Charm Mapp makes mathematics come alive for her students through her classroom number talks and hands-on instruction,” Woods said. “I can’t wait to see how she advocates for students, teachers and schools throughout her time as Georgia Teacher of the Year.”
Mapp earned her bachelor’s, master’s and education specialist degrees from GCSU making her a three-time alumna and is currently attending the university to earn her Ed.D.
Mapp has worked at Clifton Ridge Middle School for 23 years and is the lead gifted teacher. She has mentored 19 student teachers and works with her fellow gifted teachers to hold monthly professional learning sessions.
“While it’s important to challenge my students, I also want to make sure they’re supported,” Mapp said.
In her new position as Georgia Teacher of the Year, Mapp will work as an advocate for public education in the state.
