Howell of Fame

Volunteers, community partners and FHSD employees who go above and beyond are eligible to win a Howell of Fame award.

Past Howell of Fame winners are not generally not eligible to win again (exceptions may be granted at the discretion of the Howell of Fame Committee). View a list of past winners.

Current and former FHSD employees, as well as parents/guardians and community members residing within the Francis Howell School District are eligible to submit nominations. Nominations are accepted December through March each school year. Sign up for the District eNews to be notified when the nomination form is available.

2025 Nomination form

Winners are selected by the Howell of Fame Committee based on the information provided in the nomination form, thus, care should be taken to accurately describe the nominee's contributions. Strong nominations will include the following:

• Specific, measurable ways the nominee has made a positive impact in the District. Quantify where possible; include number of individuals impacted, number of hours invested, dollars raised, etc.
   
• Descriptive examples that show how the nominee's efforts bettered the lives of students and/or staff in the District, supported a District initiative, and/or improved the District in some other fashion.
   
• If nominating a current staff member, the nomination form will make clear the ways in which the staff member volunteered time outside of their normal job responsibilities and/or went above and beyond the call of duty to support the District and its students and staff.

Winners will be announced in April 2025 and recognized at the annual Howell of Fame Awards Ceremony on Monday, May 12, 2025 at Piazza Messina in Cottleville.
