About the Hall of Fame
Since 1994, Colonie Central High School
graduates have been honored in the Colonie Central High School
Hall of Fame. The inductees represent a variety of high school
classes
and accomplishments. In 2010, a new Military Wing was added to the
Hall of Fame - dedicated to those CCHS graduates who lost their
lives while on active duty.
The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to
identify role models for CCHS students and to illustrate to them
that South Colonie Schools provide the educational foundation
necessary
to build a successful life.
All nominees are acknowledged and, if not selected the first year, remain in an active pool of nominees for a period of five years.
-
Are recognized at commencement exercises each year.
-
Are honored guests at a reception for the inductees and family.
-
March in the graduation processional on their induction year.
-
Are recognized on stage in front of all graduates, their families and invited guests.
-
Are honored with a portrait and biography proudly displayed on a plaque in the Hall of Fame hallway at CCHS.
Please take the time to nominate an alumnus or alumna you believe would be an ideal role model for our children. Nomination forms are available in the office of Colonie Central High School, One Raider Blvd., Albany, New York 12205, or can be downloaded here.
