LBHS Teacher Demetria Brown One of 10 Lead Facilitators Nationwide Named for Chick-fil-A’s Leader Academy Celebration

Long Beach High School Teacher Ms. Demetria Brown has been selected as one of 10 recipients nationwide to be a part of the nationwide Chick-fil-A Leader Academy’s celebration. Brown was surprised with the news this morning by local Chick-fil-A owner Chris McKlveen and his team.

“Back in November, I nominated Ms. Demetria Brown to be selected as one of ten Lead Facilitators for Chick-fil-A Leader Academy to be selected for a special celebration,” said Amy Comstock, Chick-fil-A Gulfport’s Restaurant Marketing Director.

“To our amazement, Ms. Brown was one of the ten selected.  She and our Operator, Chris McKlveen will be flown to Atlanta in March for a Celebration.”

Long Beach Superintendent Dr. Talia Lock is proud to see the dedication and hard work Ms. Brown puts into her students being recognized.

“When it comes to being passionate about pushing students to achieve more than they ever dreamed, you won’t find anyone more dedicated than Ms. Brown,” Lock said.

“We are so proud of her winning this honor.”

Chick-fil-A’s Leader Academy involves students using an engage, expose, and equip approach to learning. It opens them to reimagining leadership, learning new insights, and putting their ideas into practice to positively impact the local community.
