The Hall of Fame was established in 2009 to honor
accomplished graduates and others in the community who support our
schools. It serves as a means of recognizing and honoring those who made
significant contributions in academics, athletics, music, performing
arts or other extracurricular activities, and alumni who have excelled
through their community involvement or in their careers.
Hall members also are selected in two additional categories:
administrators, coaches and teachers who demonstrated exceptional
leadership, character and achievement during their careers; and
contributors who have been loyal and devoted supporters of the district.
