Northland Pines Seeks Nominations for 2020 Alumni Hall of Fame

The Northland Pines School District Alumni Hall of Fame Committee is seeking nominations for the 2020 induction.  The Alumni Hall of Fame was created with two thoughts in mind.  The first is to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of Northland Pines and/or Eagle River Union High School alumni.  The second is to bring to the forefront outstanding role models for our current and future student bodies.  

The Northland Pines Alumni Hall of Fame Committee is asking community members to submit a nomination form if they know an outstanding alumnus who has been out of high school for at least 20 years.  They are also accepting nominations for individuals who have contributed to the school district’s success in ways other than being a student. Nominees may also include teachers, secretarial or custodial personnel, etc. The deadline for the 2020 class nominations is January 31, 2020.  The nomination form is available below.

The Northland Pines Alumni Hall of Fame Committee was founded in 2007 and inducted their first group of individuals in the spring of 2008.  There are currently 34 outstanding members from all parts of the United States who have been inducted thus far.  Anyone interested in the Alumni Hall of Fame can visit the designated Alumni Hall of Fame area located just inside the main entrance of the Northland Pines High School.  Each inductee plaque includes his/her picture and a list of his/her contributions to society.

For more information, please contact Scott Foster, Northland Pines School District Administrator, at 715-479-6487, option 1, extension 1, or any committee member listed below.
