The NC Department of Public Instruction has the details here.

Cynthia Rudolph, a biology teacher at Hopewell High School in Huntersville (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools), today was named North Carolina’s 2009 Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award recipient. Rudolph is among more than 50 secondary educators in the nation to receive the unrestricted financial award of $25,000 this year and has become the newest member of a network of over 2,400 past recipients.
