BHS Hall of Fame
Bement High School Accepting Hall of Fame Nominations
The Bement Board of Education began its annual Bement High School Hall of Fame Award in 1991, with the naming of Sereno Bodman and Gary Gallagher as its first members. Since its inception, over sixty Bement High School graduates have been named to the Hall of Fame.
Each year as many as two BHS graduates are selected to be honored. To qualify for membership a graduate or honorary alumnus must have achieved outstanding success in his or her career field, and/or contributed significantly to his or her community.
Nomination forms are available in the high school office or may be found on the district website. All nominations received by March 31st are reviewed by the Hall of Fame selection committee in April and announced in May. Individuals selected will be honored at the homecoming football game in the fall.
