Sylvania High School started an Distinguished Hall of Fame (DHOF) & Athletic Hall of Fame (AHOF) in 1992.  They accept nominations at any time but generally the selections are made in November for the Academic Foundation honoring in the Spring and a May/June selection for the Athletic Foundation honoring in the Fall.  They hold the nominations for three years.  Criteria is based on an alumni being in good standing, reached a level of notability in their profession, military ranking and/or civic engagement and have graduated 10 years prior to the current year (okay, we all qualify on that one).  They can be living or deceased.


The forms are available online at https://sylvaniaschoolsfoundation.org

Jodi Hess is the Sylvania Schools Alumni/ Foundation Coordinator.  Her email address jhess@sylvaniaschools.org. She can answer any of your questions about these two Alumni Hall of Fames.
