Congratulations to Harriet Weber of the Quincy Valley Historical Society!

Harriet was recognized by the Quincy School District with a Community Leadership Award from the Washington Association of School Administrators, honoring the incredible work she does to bring history to life for local students.

Harriet’s impact goes far beyond teaching kids names and dates. She creates experiences they can actually see, hear and participate in.

As part of the America 250 celebration, Harriet spearheaded historical experiences at all five elementary schools, introducing students to figures and stories from the Revolutionary War through characters such as Thomas Jefferson, Betsy Ross and Joseph Plumb Martin, along with hands-on experiences including an early American print shop.

Her work with local history has also given students opportunities to learn about the people and stories that helped shape our own community.

As district leadership shared while presenting the award, these kinds of experiences simply wouldn’t happen without Harriet’s leadership, planning and passion for history.

Congratulations, Harriet, and thank you for everything you do for our students and the 98848 community!

We’re fortunate to have people who put so much time and energy into making our community’s history come alive for the next generation.
