Brookhaven High School teacher Leslie Davis was recently selected as a Claes Nobel Educator of Distinction by The National Society of High School Scholars.

Davis was nominated by student Tyra Mason as a role model, for outstanding dedication and commitment to excellence in the profession.

Each year, student members of NSHSS are invited to nominate the teacher who has made the most significant contribution to their academic careers. The honor recognizes exemplary educators whose passion and devotion inspire their students to grow and develop as scholars, leaders and citizens.

“Dedicated educators who exhibit a commitment to excellence deserve our highest praise and appreciation,” said NSHSS president James W. Lewis. “We hope to acknowledge and encourage the vital work of the teachers, counselors and administrators who are shaping the intellect and character of our young scholars.”
