AHSAA Announces Recipients for
2024 ‘Making a Difference’ Award
MONTGOMERY – Seven individuals who have made an impact as exemplary role models in their schools and communities have been selected as the 2024 Making a Difference Award recipients by the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) and the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association (AHSADCA).
One recipient from each of the AHSAA’s seven classifications was selected from approximately 90 nominations submitted by AHSAA member schools and other support organizations or individuals.
Congratulations to CLASS 3A winner: Brad Cunningham, Winfield High School girls’ basketball coach and ambassador for all sports helping train all student-athletes at his school.
The Making a Difference Award was established in 2011 by the AHSAA and AHSADCA to recognize individuals who go beyond their normal duties as a coach, teacher, or administrator to make a positive impact in their schools and communities. This year’s recipients include one school system superintendent, one principal, two football coaches/athletic directors, two girls’ head basketball coaches, and one bowling and golf coach.
“The recipients in this 2024 Making a Difference class are excellent examples of men and women who have dedicated themselves to serving students with positive reinforcement, kindness and compassion,” said AHSAA Executive Director Alvin Briggs. “They take their positions as role models for their students, faculty, and community very seriously and have shown exceptional leadership and determination in the challenges each has faced. These individuals have had spent their entire teaching, coaching and administrative careers making a major positive impact in their communities and schools across the state and are excellent examples of what this award stands for. “
Briggs adds, “We think this award is the most important honor a professional educator in our state can receive. Qualities considered for this prestigious award include the recipient’s character, integrity, determination, and service, all of which have enabled them to have a life-changing impact on the students, school, and communities which they serve.”
Briggs said this special award exemplifies what makes education-based sports so important.
“This is one way we can honor our teachers, coaches and administrators for the examples they set and the life lessons they teach on a daily basis,” he said.
This year’s Class brings the total recognized in the AHSAA “Making a Difference” program to 94 since the first class of recipients in 2011.
We are very thankful for our superintendent. He has a servant’s heart and always considers our students first. Winfield City Schools is blessed to have a superintendent like Randy Thomley.
