Tania Davis of Inman Elementary is the 2025 Gilder Lehrman Georgia History Teacher of the Year. 

Started in 2004, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History program recognizes excellence in the teaching of history at the K–12 level. Each year, thousands of teachers are nominated by students, parents, fellow teachers, and community members, shining a light on the important work they do.

Every state convenes a committee of history teachers, professors, and other education professionals to review the nominated teachers in their state. State winners are awarded $1,000 and become a nominee in the national contest. The national panel of eminent historians, former winners, and master teachers will select one national winner for the $10,000 award this fall.
