Celebrating the 2026 Carroll County Public Schools’ Teacher of the Year

We were proud to attend the Carroll County Public Schools (CCPS) Employee Recognition Ceremony, which celebrates the exceptional educators and staff who make a difference in students’ lives every day.

During the event, we had the special honor of recognizing Emily Brynes of Westminster High School, who was named CCPS Teacher of the Year. In celebration of her outstanding achievements and commitment to education, First Financial presented Emily with a gift basket as a small token of our appreciation. Her dedication to shaping the future and supporting student success is truly inspiring.

For more than 30 years, First Financial has been proud to serve the Carroll County community. Supporting local schools and recognizing the incredible work of educators is just one of the many ways we stay connected to the people and institutions that make our community strong.

Congratulations again to Emily Brynes and to all of this year’s honorees. We thank you for everything you do!
