Academic and Career Hall of Fame

 

Princeton High School

Academic & Career Hall of Fame

The Princeton High School Academic & Career Hall of Fame was established in February 2017 to recognize distinguished alumni who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in areas such as citizenship, leadership, academic endeavors and career achievement.

Our goal is to recognize Princeton High School alumni that have distinguished themselves by their contribution in their field of work or study, to the Princeton High School Community and to society as a whole. By honoring these positive role models, we hope to provide inspiration to our current students on understanding the value of education & citizenship and the possibilities to which they may lead.
