Nominations for the 2010 Hall of Fame Now Being Accepted

The Bishop Kearney Alumni Association Board of Directors is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for its ninth class of inductees to the Bishop Kearney High School Hall of Fame.

Established in 2002, the BKHS Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who embody the ideals, principles and mission of Bishop Kearney, and whose spirit and generosity have greatly influenced not only the school community, but also the communities in which they live and work. Prospective nominees may include Kearney alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff and benefactors. Since its inception, fifty-seven extraordinary individuals have been installed in the Bishop Kearney High School Hall of Fame. We look forward recognizing another dynamic group in 2010.

If you know of someone who you believe embodies these qualities and should be considered for recognition as a member of the 2010 Hall of Fame class please let us know. You may complete the nomination form found here: 2010 Hall of Fame Nomination Form.pdf
