This combined Elementary and Secondary Teacher Workshop will include a gallery tour and highlight FREE lesson activities rooted in 4th–12th grade standards, which have been crafted by our 2026 Teacher Fellows. Our Teacher Fellows will facilitate multiple sessions centered on the following topics: Ancient Civilizations, Middle Ages, Civil War, WWII, Korean War, Civil Rights, and the Global War on Terror. These sessions will uniquely weave in the stories of Medal of Honor Recipients and the character values associated with the Medal—courage, commitment, sacrifice, integrity, patriotism, and citizenship.
SPECIAL GUEST
We are excited to share Chris Edmonds, son of Tennessee Medal of Honor Recipient Roddie Edmonds, will be joining us this day as a special guest speaker. In a World War II POW camp and at great risk to his own life, MOH Recipient Roddie Edmonds refused to identify the Jewish Americans among those held captive. Hear Chris Edmonds share his father’s courageous story.
