Cox Inspirational Heroes Named

May 4, 2011

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.

    Wow! I’m so impressed by this young lady. She was my student in her 7th Grade year at Carver/Century. I’m so glad to see her overcome adversity and prosper in many ways. The example she has set for her son in invaluable. She is an inspiration to me and should be to everyone. Best of luck to you, Tammie. You deserve the best.
