Press Release
♦ Brooke Baucom has been named North Carolina Connections Academy Teacher of the Year. North Carolina Connections Academy is North Carolina newest and online virtual public school. Ms. Baucom teaches 4th grade at North Carolina Connections Academy and previously taught in the Rowan Salisbury Schools at Mill Bridge Elementary. “I chose to work in a virtual school, because I wanted to experience a new challenge in teaching. After working in a brick and mortar classroom, I saw many things that weren’t working for some students. I saw the virtual environment as an innovative solution for many of the challenges in a regular school.
Parent Sandie Dennis states, Ms. Baucom is simply amazing. She provides feedback on every single portfolio and regular checks in with me to see how things are going and is truly interested.
Principal Nathan Currie believes that the virtual environment is meeting the needs of many children and school districts across North Carolina and with teachers like Ms. Baucom we will continue building a world-class educational system through innovation.
North Carolina Connections Academy is a free online public school serving students from grades K-10. To learn more please visit:
