Brainerd Public Schools Legendary Women Committee is proud to announce the induction of five distinguished women into the Legendary Women Hall of Fame. Established in 2018, the Hall of Fame celebrates female graduates who have demonstrated exceptional achievement, leadership, and service. This year's honorees are Rachel Pernina Oliver Burke (1934), Heidi Holtan (1987), Amy Wallin Price (1989), Dr. Jennifer Person (1993), and Elissa Hansen (1997). These women, along with previous inductees, now numbering 55 distinguished women, remind us that we all have a story to tell.
The Legendary Women Class of 2024 reflects excellence in Brainerd Public Schools. By honoring these women during National Women's History Month, we shine a spotlight on their contributions to their service fields locally and globally. It's often said that if you can see it, you can be it, and these women serve as positive female role models from all backgrounds.
Brainerd Public Schools invites the public to join them at the Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts on Thursday, March 21, for a dynamic program honoring this year's inductees. The event will begin with a social hour at 4:30 p.m. and will be followed by the induction ceremony at 5:00 p.m.
The Brainerd Public Schools Legendary Women Hall of Fame is a testament to the rich tradition and history of opportunity, innovation, and success exhibited through the legendary women of Brainerd Public Schools. We hope that their achievements will inspire future generations of Warriors to achieve their dreams.
