Each year, the Callaway Chamber of Commerce proudly brings together educators from across Callaway County for the annual Teacher Appreciation Breakfast, a morning dedicated to celebrating the people who educate, encourage, and inspire our local students.

The 8th Annual Teacher Appreciation Breakfast was held Thursday, August 13, 2026, at Westminster College’s Champ Auditorium, with approximately 650 educators recognized through the event and school deliveries.

This year’s featured speaker, Dr. Tyler Tarver, brought an entertaining and encouraging message to local educators as they prepared for another school year. The morning also included breakfast, teacher gifts, prizes and giveaways, and the presentation of educator grants and scholarships.

The celebration was made possible by Presenting Sponsor The Callaway Bank, Westminster College, and the many businesses and community partners who contributed to the event.

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate Callaway County’s educators—and most importantly, thank you to our teachers and school staff for the difference you make in our community every day.
