For 26 years, Upper St. Clair High School has annually honored and celebrated alumni, staff and volunteers who have distinguished themselves in academics, the arts, or athletics at the high school, collegiate or professional level and who, in so doing, have contributed to the pride and prestige of Upper St. Clair High School. Since its inception in 2000, 347 individuals have been inducted into the Academic, Arts and Athletic Halls of Fame. This fall, the number of inductees will grow to 357.
The Halls of Fame was founded in 2000 by three faculty members, representing each of the three categories. Jim Bennett, retired band director, led the Arts Hall of Fame. Jane Hollman, retired English teacher, spearheaded the Academic Hall of Fame. Jim Render, retired physical education teacher and football coach, helped to establish the Athletic Hall of Fame, where he continues to serve as a committee member.
The Oct. 9 event will begin with a reception at 5 p.m. in the high school’s arts entrance, followed by dinner and ceremony at 6 p.m. in the large group instruction room. Tickets for the event are $25 and will be available for purchase in early September.
The Halls of Fame recognition program is led by Dr. Timothy Wagner, Upper St. Clair High School principal, with support from Mary Beth Harkleroad. For more information about the 2024 event, contact Mrs. Harkleroad at hof@uscsd.k12.pa.us
