"We are thrilled to be doing this in conjunction with the High School," said HCEF President Linnea Kooistra. "The Hall of Fame was developed to recognize Harvard graduates who have achieved notable success in their lives and to motivate and inspire current and future students by showing them what former HHS graduates have achieved."

Inductees will be asked to participate in a special program at the High School on Friday, November 13

The committee received 11 nominations. Criteria used to select inductees include high achievement in cultural endeavors; success in a trade, business or industry; unusual contributions through good works and/or charitable beneficence; excellence in service to a recognized profession; and prowess in a professional or amateur sport.

 Inductees will be presented with their plaques and will have the opportunity to address students regarding their motivations and accomplishments. Inductees will visit classrooms and have an opportunity to interact with students. Each inductee will also receive two tickets to the 2009 Black & Gold Ball to be held the next evening. The inductees will also be honored during a brief ceremony at the Ball.
