Miami, OK -Shannon Cunningham, a nine-year

personal commitment.
Cunningham earned an associate's degree from

"I am so honored to receive this
recognition," Cunningham said in a press release. "Recipients of the
Honorary State F-F-A Degree are nominated by F-F-A Agriculture educators across
the state, so I was surprised and humbled that I had been nominated for the
award," she said. "It truly means more than I can express that these
educators across the state feel that my contributions have been important and
are worthy of recognition."
In addition to Cunningham's numerous
