Omro, WI - August 5, 2025
Eli Schumacher, a history teacher at Omro High School, was one of just 13 educators selected nationwide—and the only representative from Wisconsin —for the 2025 Museum Teacher Fellowship Program through the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
This highly competitive fellowship is designed to deepen educators’ understanding of Holocaust history and pedagogy while supporting their efforts to bring high-quality, accessible Holocaust education to students and communities. Fellows participate in an intensive summer institute at the Museum and commit to leading professional development in their local area. Eli traveled to Washington, D.C., in July to complete the summer institute. He was able to learn from expert historians, connected with colleagues from around the country, and prepared to give free professional development to local educators centered around the Museum's education resources.
