Cox Inspirational Heroes Named

A student from Escambia Escambia County School has been  named an inspirational hero.

When Tammie Brown started her high school career in 2006 at Northview High, she was a young mother of a little boy. In that same year, the family suffered a devastating fire in which they lost almost everything.

Despite her hardships, Tammie has always striven to do her very best, maintained the best possible grades while working a job through the school’s DCT program. She will graduate this year and has been accepted to Bishop State College.

Tammie was named an inspirational hero by Cox Gulf Coast during their 17th annual Inspirational Student Hero Celebration Tuesday night. The event honors students that have faced significant challenges, including the loss of their parents, physical illness, handicaps and language barriers.
