Representatives from the Milken Family Foundation (MFF) and the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) honored Dr. Melody Tucker as the 2015-16 Alabama Milken Educator on Tuesday, an award described as “the Oscars of teaching.”

Dr. Tucker works at Citronelle High School in the Mobile County Public Schools system, where she teaches science in Grades 9-12 — spanning everything from regular, honors and Advanced placement courses in multiple subjects.
