The Board of Education has recognized individuals who have made contributions to the
Gasconade County R-2 schools and community. The Alumni Dutch Pride Award will go to an
alumnus who has provided support, and the Dutch Pride Supporter Award will go to a non-
alumni.
Any community person, parent, or student can nominate someone by completing a
one-page nomination form. Dutch Pride recipients will be recognized in May at the high school
awards program.
Superintendent Jeri Kay Hardy states, “The Board wants to recognize the individuals who
make a difference for our kids through their giving of time, energy, and work. So many
individuals do so much in this community to help kids, and we felt it was important to recognize
the supporters who make a difference.” A special plaque is displayed in the high school, and
each year the Dutch Pride Supporters’ name and year are added. Nomination forms can be
picked up at the Administrative Office or Nomination Form. Nominations
are due to the Administrative Office no later than April 4, 2025.
