The highlight of the evening was the recognition program and induction of the honorees. The personal and professional post high school graduation achievements of each inductee, as well as their individual commitment to community service and volunteerism, were shared with the audience. Each honoree was then presented with a plaque that featured their achievements, a recent photo, and their high school graduation photo. Each inductee then had the opportunity to share with the audience their memories of Northampton Area High School, the impact their education and experiences at the high school and in the community had on their post graduate lives,
and their gratitude to everyone for the unique honor of being inducted into the Wall of Honor. The plaques will be installed on the Distinguished Alumni Wall of Honor that will be located in Northampton Area High School’s main lobby. The Wall of Honor inductees honored on the wall will serve as an inspiration to all students and as a reminder to the entire community of Northampton Area School District’s proud education tradition and commitment to serve others. The Northampton High School Choral Ensemble and the Brass Quintet entertained the honorees and guests before dinner, and a display of NAHS student artwork and a student produced slideshow of foundation-supported activities provided a backdrop to the festivities in the ballroom. A short video produced by this same group of students was shown at the beginning of the recognition program, Continued on page 2
