Legendary Women

Class of 2024

Brainerd Public Schools Legendary Women Committee is proud to announce the induction of five distinguished women into the Legendary Women Hall of Fame. Established in 2018, the Hall of Fame celebrates female graduates who have demonstrated exceptional achievement, leadership, and service. This year’s honorees are Rachel Pernina Oliver Burke (1934), Heidi Holtan (1987), Amy Wallin Price (1989), Dr. Jennifer Person (1993), and Elissa Hansen (1997). These women, along with previous inductees, now numbering 55 distinguished women, remind us that we all have a story to tell.

The Legendary Women Class of 2024 reflects excellence in Brainerd Public Schools. By honoring these women during National Women’s History Month, we shine a spotlight on their contributions to their service fields locally and globally. It’s often said that if you can see it, you can be it, and these women serve as positive female role models from all backgrounds.

Brainerd Public Schools honored these women on March 21 at the Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts.
