Many people walk through the hallways of Buffalo High School and never receive an award. Others receive more awards than what we can count on our hands and toes. Out of those awards there is one award that quite possibly may be the most prestigous at Buffalo High School. That is the hall of fame award.
Most students may not even know what the “Hall of Fame Award” is. All they see is the 48 pictures hanging in the main entrance of the school. What they don’t know about those students is that they are some of the best students that BHS has ever seen.
“The hall of fame members at BHS are students who represent the school in a positive way,” Said counselor Mark Jones, “Whether it be through academics, athletics, clubs, or organizations.”
All of the staff are first given a list of seniors in the spring. They nominate seniors that they feel should be in the hall of fame and represent the school well. After the initial voting the top ten girls and guys are then put on a ballot and the staff votes for a winner from each gender. Those winners then get their picture put up in the front of BHS.
“Every hall of fame member that is chosen usually has left a lasting impression on the school.” Said Jones.
The Hall of Fame award is a very honorable award to receive. It is one that not just anyone can get. It is an award that has to be earned.
