Danville School District 118 is looking for new additions for the Danville High School Wall of Fame. The high school has recognized outstanding alumni on the wall since 1991 through annual inductions.
There are currently 56 DHS alumni who are enshrined on the wall which is located outside the Dick Van Dyke Auditorium at Danville High.
The Wall of Fame is designed to promote pride in Danville’s Public Schools, promote pride in Danville, and to provide positive role models for students.
If you have someone you would like to nominate for the Danville High School Wall of Fame you need to act quickly. All nominations are due in the Office of the Superintendent at 110 East Williams Street in Danville, 61832, by Friday, September 14, 2018. Three references must be provided for a candidate to be considered. Nomination forms are available on the front of the District 118 website at www.danville118.org.
Candidates who wish to be considered for inclusion on the Wall of Fame who no longer live in the area must have distinguished themselves nationally, internationally, or within a particular field or service to humanity.
Local candidates must have distinguished themselves with excellence within a particular field (locally or regionally), or with service to humanity or have been actively involved in community service. This category includes possible nominees who distinguished themselves locally but later moved away.
Inductees who are currently on the DHS Wall of Fame include a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Academy Award, Emmy Award, and Tony Award recipients, as well as doctors, teachers, community activists and others.
