Rocky Point Elementary | Rocky Point, NC | Dec 13, 2022Jessica Barnette catches her breath as she talks with North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt (center) and Rocky Point Elementary School Principal April Perkins after her surprise Milken Educator Award notification. "My heart dropped when I heard my name called," says Jessica of the day's momentous announcement. Overwhelmed in the moment, Jessica focused on the students holding the signs representing the amount of the Award, all of whom she'd previously taught: "I just concentrated on going up to hug my kids as I took it all in."
