Laura Negi, an extraordinary third-grade teacher at Sabal Elementary, has been crowned as the 2025 Brevard Public Schools Teacher of the Year! This well-deserved recognition took place during the dazzling 14th Annual ABC (Applauding Brevard’s Champions) Awards Gala, an event that celebrates the heart and soul of our education system.
A Star Among Us: Who is Laura Negi?

The Prestigious ABC Awards
The ABC Awards Gala, presented by Community Credit Union Florida and hosted by Brevard Schools, has become one of the most anticipated educational events in our community. This marks the 14th year that our district has come together to celebrate educational excellence.
The gala wasn’t just about announcing winners – it was a heartwarming celebration of the tireless work our educators perform daily. Teachers, administrators, and community members gathered to honor those who shape our children’s futures.
Why This Matters to Our Melbourne Community
When our local educators receive recognition of this caliber, it reflects on our entire community. Excellence in education translates to:
- Better prepared students entering our workforce
- Enhanced community reputation and property values
- Attraction of quality families and professionals to our area
- A stronger future for Brevard County
I firmly believe that celebrating these achievements helps us all appreciate the incredible educational resources we have right here in Brevard County.
Community Support Makes Excellence Possible
Events like the ABC Awards wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of local organizations like Community Credit Union Florida. Their commitment to education demonstrates how deeply our local businesses are invested in nurturing the next generation.
This partnership between businesses and schools creates a powerful foundation for educational success. When we all rally behind our educators, magical things happen in our classrooms.
