2024 Centennial Bell Montana History Teacher of the Year Celebration

The public is invited to attend the celebration for Jenifer Powell as the 2024 Centennial Bell Montana History Teacher of the Year.
Before retiring in June 2024, Powell was the seventh-grade social studies teacher at Corvallis Middle School, where she demonstrated an exceptional dedication to teaching and a profound passion for imparting knowledge of the history of Montana to her students.
She and her former students will come to Helena on Statehood Day– for a ceremony to celebrate her commitment to teaching Montana history.
The ceremony begins near the Centennial Bell next to the Old Supreme Court chamber. Powell’s students will ring the Centennial Bell at 10:40 a.m., the exact minute Montana became the 41st state in 1889. Students also will lead attendees in the Montana state song and recited the preamble to the 1972 Montana constitution.
