- Hall of Fame Nominations
The Maroa-Forsyth Community Unit School District has established the Maroa-Forsyth CUSD #2 Hall of Fame.
The focus of the Hall of Fame is to recognize excellence in achievement be it academic, fine arts, athletic, or general distinguished achievement accomplished while a student, after leaving Maroa-Forsyth schools, or a combination of both. Honorees may have attended MFCUSD #2 schools, or might never have attended MFCUSD #2 schools, but were significant and accomplished contributors that have been associated with the school. Nominees may be individuals or groups. In addition to honoring and acknowledging inductees, we hope to inspire and enlighten current students and those associated with the school, helping to foster and promote a culture of achievement and commitment to excellence and pride.
You may re-submit a previously submitted nominee, however all nominations are retained and are subject to consideration in future years. To help us in the selection process, and to provide due and appropriate consideration to your nominee, it is important that you include supporting information regarding the achievements of the nominee that you are submitting for consideration.
Purpose
The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to highlight the accomplishments of inductees with the intention that current students will be inspired by the standard of excellence and pride achieved by their predecessors. Also, it is to recognize those who have made great contributions to the Maroa-Forsyth CUSD #2 or took lessons learned while at MFCUSD #2 to the world.
