Deadline near for Education Hall of Fame nominations

By Bill Moss, Published: December 17, 2015

Just two weeks remain in the nomination period for candidates to be considered for induction into the Henderson County Education Hall of Fame. Nominations of candidates for inclusion in the 2016 Hall of Fame class and supporting materials must be submitted to the foundation by Dec. 31.
Since 2003, the Henderson County Education Foundation has honored more than 115 teachers, administrators, support staff, school board members and donors with induction into the Hall. One of only five education halls of fame in North Carolina, the HCEF Hall of Fame provides an opportunity for special recognition of the men and women who have led Henderson County’s focus on educational excellence for decades.
Honorees have shown “measurable influence or made significant contributions to the growth and development of education in Henderson County.” Members of the Hall are honored in a display at the Central Office of the Henderson County Public Schools at 414 Fourth Avenue West. The “Wall of Fame” is open to the public during business hours.
Detailed guidelines for nominations, supporting documents, and selection criteria can be found at hcefnc.org/education-hall-of-fame/.
Those selected for induction in the 2016 class will be announced on Feb. 15 and honored at Education Celebration 2016 on April 21 at Blue Ridge Community College.
