SFES Seeks Nominations for Hall of Honor

Since colonial times our quintessential New England town has produced sons and daughters who have distinguished themselves beyond the town’s boundaries. In more recent times, as part of its mission to promote excellence in the Suffield Public Schools and pride in the town, the Suffield Foundation for Excellent Schools (SFES) is soliciting nominations for the Suffield High School Hall of Honor. The Hall of Honor was conceived in 2002 as a way to inspire students through exceptional role models and instill a sense of tradition and pride in the school as well as the community at large. Selections are made only once in 4 years. Plaques with brief biographies and the accomplishments of past honorees are on the wall outside the high school auditorium as well as on the SFES website, and provide interesting reading.
