Owensboro High School’s “Hall of Achievement” Committee is accepting nominations for the 2016 class. Every three years, a new class of Owensboro High School alumni are accepted into the Hall of Achievement based on the criteria listed below. The OHS Hall of Achievement was established in 2001. To date, the Hall’s 51 inductees have included a Pulitzer Price winner, a CBS News analyst, a former Kentucky Supreme Court Justice, a vocal artist and other distinguished alumni.
“Owensboro High School has produced thousands of successful graduates. However, there are some that have taken success to a whole new level. The Hall of Achievement is to recognize those individuals who have gone the extra mile,” said John DeLacey, OHS Principal.
