EAST PROVIDENCE — The East Providence High School Hall of Fame Committee is accepting nominations for 2020 inductees. Nominations will be accepted through February 1.
Selection is based upon achievements which shall include a meritorious record in at least one — and preferably more — of the following areas: Job-related achievements; one who excels in their chosen field after graduation; Professional honors and awards, professional affiliations, publications; Civic or community involvement; Extraordinary contribution to society; Positive impact on the East Providence community; Exceptional and documented individual athletic accomplishment(s) during one’s high school, college, or beyond; Exceptional dedication as a staff member to the students of East Providence High School for a minimum of 10 years with a significant and direct impact on students and the community; Other appropriate qualifications which the committee believes merit consideration.
The East Providence High School Hall of Fame was established in conjunction with the East Providence High School 1984 centennial year. Created by former Superintendent of Schools Myron J. Francis, Class of 1947, and others in an effort to promote pride in city schools, the purpose of the Hall of Fame is to recognize Townie graduates who have brought honor to themselves and to the high school.
During the course of the school’s existence, many EPHS graduates have distinguished themselves in high school, and in all walks of life following graduation. Consequently, the selection process is difficult. Nevertheless, a nomination procedure was adopted, criteria for selection were established, and a broadly-based selection committee makes the final decisions.
The initial group of HOF inductees consisted of 12. The HOF committee continuously seeks nominations from the general public in seeking to identify and expand a focus on the many meritorious Townie graduates throughout the land. In addition to honoring new members with certificates and pins at an Induction Ceremony, plaques bearing the likeness of each inductee will be enshrined in a prominent place in the high school.
Nomination forms can be picked up in the high school main office or by emailing bobrodericks@gmail.com or svinhateiro@gmail.com.
