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.
