Asia Cunnigham Makes History Becoming the First Educator in Durham to Receive the Prestigious Milken Educator Award

Congratulations to fellow NCCU Eagle alumni and Pearsontown Elementary School Principal Asia Cunningham on receiving the $25,000 North Carolina Milken Educator Awards. She was so surprised and filled with so much emotion with no idea she was being honored in front of so many proud Pearsontown Elementary students and colleagues. You can tell how much of an impact she is making on her students by their reactions once the award was announced. Asia is one of two award winners from North Carolina and joins an elite group of educators nationwide who epitomize excellence in education. I'm so proud of you my friend and extremely thankful to be there to document this amazing accomplishment.
