Wakefield High School
				    Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame was established as part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration in
November 2003.  The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to bring acclaim to Wakefield
High School, and to recognize those alumni and staff who have:

*  Made significant contributions to society and,
*  Who have brought acclaim or recognition to Wakefield. 

Those selected for the Hall of Fame should have a widespread reputation, at least 
in their peer group. The renown of the Hall of Fame member will be associated 
with, and therefore a reflection on, Wakefield High School.  They should also 
serve as both a model and a source of pride to current students.

Nominations can be made by anyone, but must be submitted on the following forms,
which contain specific guidelines and criteria.  Please select either the Alumni 
or Staff form as appropriate.  The form can be copied and submitted either by 
U.S. mail or email as indicated on the form.  Please note that each form 
requires an attachment noting the nominee’s qualifications.  

Please omplete the appropriae form and return to the address below not later than
February 20, 2009.

				Alumni Nomination Form

Name of Nominee:________________________________________________________

Address: 	________________________________________________________

City: 		_____________________ State:  ______  ZIP: _____________

When at Wakefield: _____________________________________________________

Year of Graduation: (if applicable) _________

Guidelines
The primary intent of the Hall of Fame is to recognize alumni for their 
accomplishments after high school. However, significant achievement by a student
while at Wakefield can be appropriate for recognition if that achievement was 
well known outside of Wakefield. Contributions of a student while at Wakefield 
and known only within Wakefield cannot qualify. Wakefield has its own internal 
awards ceremony each year to recognize these achievements. If those accomplishments 
were recognized in the greater community, such as a state athletic championship, 
and thus brought back some level of acclaim to Wakefield by association, 
selection could be appropriate.  In this case emphasis would be given to those 
demonstrating achievement after graduation.

Criteria
+ Alumni nominees are not eligible until 10 years after their time at Wakefield.
+ Alumni nominees cannot be currently employed at Wakefield.
+ Nominees should be a good example for Wakefield students.
+ Nominations can be submitted by anyone.

Guidelines

Recognizing exceptional Wakefield staff is another aspect of the Hall of Fame. 
As with students, the intent is to acknowledge staff whose reputation of 
excellence extends beyond Wakefield.  The Hall of Fame is not intended as a 
collection of students' favorite teachers.  It is appropriate to nominate 
dedicated staff that have excelled in their duties by going beyond what is 
expected and who, as a result, have commanded the utmost respect of students 
and staff, thereby enhancing Wakefield’s reputation.  Consideration should be 
given for bringing acclaim to Wakefield by:

+ Sponsoring extracurricular activities that achieve excellence beyond Wakefield, 
+ Coaching that extends to the Regional or State levels, 
+ Receiving professional awards at the regional, state or national level, 
+ Professional participation and contributions outside of Wakefield, etc. 

Criteria

+ Staff nominees are not eligible until 5 years after their time at Wakefield.
+ Staff nominees cannot be currently employed by the Arlington Public Schools.
+ Nominees should be a good example for Wakefield students and staff.
+ Nominations can be submitted by anyone.
