The Marshall County Board of Education, in conjunction with the support and leadership of the Marshall County Class of 1985, is pleased to introduce the newly christened MARSHALL COUNTY DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI HALL OF FAME. The vast history of successful alumni produced over the past 150+ years from the Marshall County Schools is reason enough to find ways to honor its alumni. However, combining that opportunity with the chance to encourage our current students with the examples of what they can achieve after leaving this school system makes this a timely and exciting chance to further enhance our district.
Although an incredible Hall of Fame already exists to honor those who have distinguished themselves in athletics, the goal and purpose of the Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame is to recognize those alumni who have excelled in many different skills, fields or vocations.
Trent Lovett, Superintendent of Marshall County Schools, welcomes this chance to improve the schools. “We are humbled and excited to establish the Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame to celebrate our rich history of successful alumni over the past 150 years.”
The Marshall County Class of 1985 actively searched for ways to give something back to the school that granted its class the chance to launch into life with a very strong educational foundation to succeed. Class of 1985 President Mark Tichenor said, “It is our distinct pleasure to partner with and support the Marshall County School District to honor our alumni.”
The Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame Committee is currently accepting nominations for candidates to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Any student that is a product of the school system of Marshall County, Kentucky since 1870 is eligible to be nominated and inducted. Nominating forms can be found at the website listed below or by contacting the Marshall County Board of Education.
