Each year the Governor of Missouri and the Missouri Humanities Council celebrate the accomplishments of people who have made exceptional contributions to our understanding of Missouri, its people, and its stories. The awards recognize a variety of achievements.
The Community Heritage Award recognizes a person who has made a special contribution to a community’s understanding of its heritage. The Excellence in Humanities Education Award recognizes one or more teachers of English, history, languages or social studies, grades K-12 in public or private Missouri schools. The Book Award recognizes an individual or group whose book has increased our understanding and appreciation of Missouri’s history and culture, regardless of publisher or the author’s place of residence.
These awards are based on nominations from the public, for outstanding contributions to the humanities in Missouri.
The awards ceremony will be held in October at the Missouri Governor’s Mansion in Jefferson City.
"We had a wonderful group of nominees this year, representing the best of Missouri’s teachers, the best authors, and the best of the people who toil year after year to make their museum, their library, or their historical society the pride and joy of the region," said Michael Bouman, executive director. " Our heartfelt congratulations to these extraordinary citizens."
