We're incredibly excited to announce that Brandon Daye, Sports & Entertainment Marketing teacher at Hugh M. Cummings High School, has been named a finalist for the 2025 Bank of America Panther Ticket Teacher of the Year Award! Brandon was nominated by his students for the Clarity, Thoughtfulness, and Passion he brings to the classroom, his commitment to student engagement, and his strong community partnerships. As a finalist, he'll be a guest of the Carolina Panthers and Bank of America at this Sunday's game and receive a prize pack. The grand prize winner will be announced soon and will receive $5,000 for their classroom! We're so proud to have Brandon representing the Alamance-Burlington School System and showcasing the incredible, student-centered learning happening in his class! #ThisisABSS
