LHS Alumni Association Seeking Hall of Fame Nominations

LEMONT, IL — The Lemont High School Alumni Association is seeking nominations for the school’s Alumni Hall of Fame. The school said the Alumni Hall of Fame is an important part of fostering school and community pride and recognizing the achievements of those individuals who have made Lemont High School an outstanding academic institution.

The Lemont High School Alumni Hall of Fame recognizes graduates who have made significant contributions to society and serve as role models to Lemont High School students. This recognition is the highest honor that can be given by Lemont High School to one of its alumni.

According to the school, all nominees must be of good character, reflecting the qualities and ideals set forth by Lemont High School. Nominees are eligible for induction to the Lemont High School Alumni Hall of Fame 10 years after their graduation from the school.

Nominees should be graduates who have achieved a high degree of success in their respective professional fields, but individuals also may be nominated based on an act of bravery or heroism, or recognized for community service. The school said nominees should serve as role models for current students by consistently demonstrating the highest ethical and moral standards - both as a student and an alumnus.

While alumni are encouraged to nominate their fellow graduates for Alumni Hall of Fame considerations, nominations also can come from current and former teachers and staff, students, family members, business and civic leaders, and other community members.

Nomination forms are available on the school’s Web site - www.lhs210.net - by clicking on the “Alumni Hall of Fame” banner on the right side of the home page. From that page, individuals also can access an online nomination form (www.surveymonkey.com/r/LHSAlumHOF). Forms also may be requested by contacting Director of School & Community Relations Tony Hamilton at either thamilton@lhs210.net or (630) 243-3280. Nominations should be returned no later than Jan. 5.

The 2018 Alumni Hall of Fame class will be honored at the school’s annual Jazz Band Dinner Dance on March 3.

Previous Alumni Hall of Fame inductees have included Joe Forzley ‘45, Patricia (Dalman) Knight ‘64 and Al Meyer ‘67 in 2015; Leo Cattoni ‘69, Terry Duffy ‘73 and Dr. Sam Forzley ‘77 in 2016; and Al Albrecht ‘59, Mary Lou Carlson ‘71 and Norma (Landgren) Johnson ‘38 in 2017.
