NC Superintendent Mark Johnson marked National Teacher Appreciation Week (May 8-12) and National Teacher Day (May 9) by posting a video message to teachers across North Carolina public schools and public charter schools.

National Teacher Appreciation Week was first formally recognized by the National PTA in 1985.
