District Seeks Nominations for Wall of Fame

Established in 2001, the Pennridge School District Wall of Fame honors graduates who have made significant contributions to society through either career achievements or community service efforts. The Wall of Fame provides another way to take pride in the school district and to allow graduates to be positive influences on the students of today.

“We want to find ways to express the pride of the community to our students,” said high school Principal Thomas Creeden. "This program brings back graduates and gives us the opportunity to recognize them for their excellent contributions. The “Wall” also will serve as a permanent reminder of excellence for our students.”

Recipients are honored every other year at a banquet and presentation ceremony in the spring. Wall of Fame inductees have their plaque permanently displayed in the high school lobby.

Criteria for inclusion on the Wall of Fame is stringent: nominees must have graduated from Pennridge High School, be at least 22 years old, and have demonstrated exceptional achievement in a career and/or contributed significantly to the health, welfare or human rights of the local, state, national or international community.

To be considered for 2010 induction, nominations must be submitted by Feb. 28. Click here for the nomination form or call 215-453-6944. Nominations are kept on file and reviewed every other year.
