This fall the Calhoun Community will once again honor Calhoun people who have made a difference.
Nearly two years ago, Calhoun High School celebrated its 50th year of existence and kicked off its next 50 with the Inaugural Hall of Fame Induction, an event attended by nearly 400 people. The initial class included:
W. Robert (Bob) Bury, Teacher Coach 1958-1988
Dr Matthew Cordaro, Class of 1961
Joseph Corea, Coach 1966-present
Timothy Davey, Class of 1969
Edward Grilli, Class of 1970
S. Talbot (Tal) Thayer, Teacher, 1958-1985
General John Uberti, Class of 1979
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield (Ben and Jerry), Class of 1969
The Hall will be unveiled this spring and will be located outside of the
School’s auditorium.
New honorees will be inducted in the fall during Homecoming weekend, the weekend of September 16, 2011. The Calhoun Community will also honor those individuals who tragically lost their lives serving our Country and our Community with a Wall of Honor.
The Hall honors those individuals (alumni, retired faculty) who have made significant contributions to Calhoun High School or have graduated and made significant contributions to the community or have achieved excellence in their field.
The Hall Selection Committee made up of alumni, faculty and administrators welcomes nominees. Calhoun has had many individuals who have made a difference, so please be sure that the committee gives adequate consideration by communicating to the selection committee. Please tell the selection
