Program (Program for the Exceptionally Gifted Students) and the L.E.A.P Program (Lindbergh Eager Achievers Program).

Truman Elementary School is a winner in the 2009 "Champions For Character: Celebrating Service-Learning" recognition program sponsored by Cardinals Care in conjunction with CHARACTER plus . Truman Elementary is being honored with this award for their exceptional integration of service-learning into the school curriculum and school culture.

Over the past few years, Truman has been awarded four Promising Practices awards from CHARACTERplus for History in Our Own Backyard, Kids Helping Kids, Empowering Young Women, and Odyssey Academy.
