Choosing Local Heroes and Heroines

A state hero or heroine is remembered for useful service, courage, knowledge, leadership or care for others in that state. The teacher should insert verified local examples rather than guess from a pupil’s language or surname.

Pupils can ask: What did the person do? Who benefited? Is there reliable evidence? A famous person is not automatically a hero, and people may discuss a historical figure’s strengths and mistakes respectfully.
