CONCORD â Thereâs a reason Amy Hicks has been a nominee for Teacher of the Year three separate times in Cabarrus County Schools â her love for teaching is impossible to miss.
âAs a teacher you canât ever get content with where you are or even how youâre communicating or how youâre teaching,â she said. âYou have to keep working at it.â
Every single one of her 35 years as an educator has come at Central Cabarrus High School and for the schoolâs principal â a man who has also been a student at the school during Hicksâ tenure â no one exemplifies the best of the best more than Hicks as a teacher and as a person.

Trump Committed to Challenging Election Beyond Joint Session on Jan. 6
President Donald Trump intends to continue pursuing challenges to the outcome of the 2020 election in as many as eight states regardless of the result of the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, when lawmakers will vet and count Electoral College votes.
During a Jan. 4 rally at an airfield in Dalton, Georgia, the president told a crowd of thousands of supporters to expect more news about the challenges to the election over the next two weeks.
“You watch what happens over the next couple of weeks. You watch what’s going to come out. Watch what’s going to be revealed,” the president said.
