The Veterans of Foreign Wars Ozark Post 3246 has selected Audrey Plumlee, a fourth grade teacher at Hackler Intermediate, as its 2025 Smart/Maher VFW National Citizenship Education Teacher Award recipient.
“We are so appreciative of Audrey and every teacher who participated in this year’s program,” said VFW Ozark Post Commander Thomas Stickles. “Their commitment to teach the value of citizenship and patriotism to their students will greatly benefit our communities as these students grow into involved adults.”
The national Teacher of the Year program, established in 1999, recognizes educators who regularly teach citizenship, emphasize American history, and foster patriotism in the classroom. The VFW reports continued growth in participation each year.
