High School

Emily Krumm has been an educator in the Valley Park School District since Fall of 2011. Krumm was recently named one of 10 finalists for the Bill of Rights Institute’s National Civics Teacher of the Year Award. This accolade is given to a civics teacher who goes above and beyond in their efforts to teach students about their rights and obligations as a citizen. Each nominee- who was chosen by students, parents, community members and even other educators- had to write an essay highlighting the role that civics educators play in student’s lives. Mrs. Krumm shared, "Civics education is much more than teaching students about foundational documents and government processes in hopes that they will one day participate when they are older; it is about preparing students to think critically, actively engage in their community, question authority when needed, understand the responsibilities and duties of citizenship, and believe in the change they can bring forth. Young people are too often an under-tapped resource of righteousness and good in our society. We need to harness their passion and ideas to empower our youth. Civics education is all about preparing the next generation of civic servants and leaders, and the students in our classrooms are the future of our nation." Congratulations, Emily! #VPPride
