Hall of Honor Committee Seeks Nominations for 2022
Nominations for the BPS101 Hall of Honor are now being accepted and the deadline for submitting a nomination is Feb. 1, 2022.
The BPS101 Hall of Honor awards program, created by Batavia Public School District 101 and the Batavia Foundation for Educational Excellence, is designed to honor accomplishments made by Batavia High School alumni, BPS101 staff members, and community members who have demonstrated excellence in their field and/or commitment to BPS101.
Honorees will be inducted into the BPS101 Hall of Honor in the fall of 2022, at the Batavia Fine Arts Centre. A permanent display of 2022 inductees will be showcased in the main hall at Batavia High School.
To qualify for consideration for induction into the BPS101 Hall of Honor, candidates must be nominated and fulfill the criteria in one of the following categories:

Personal Achievement: Batavia High School graduates who have demonstrated excellence and made significant contributions in their field (academic, business, literary, professional, scientific, medical, the arts, athletics) and who have been out of school for at least 15 years.
Service: Batavia High School graduates who have contributed significantly to their community, state, or country, and have been out of school for at least 15 years.
