Wall of Honour to be installed at CCHS

Mar 2, 2018 | 7:00 AM

The names and photos of those who have demonstrated excellence at Churchill Community High School will soon be recognized on a Wall of Honour.

“I got inspiration by traveling to other schools over the years, and seeing how they celebrated their alumni,” project committee member Gabe Andrews said. “I figured we should do the same thing here.”

A public call for nominations is open until April 9, and can be completed online or by using a paper copy available at the school. For the first year, Andrews said a committee of four teachers will likely select 10 to 15 individuals who are either an alumni, a staff member who left or retired from the school, or another member of the public who left a special mark.

“We want to honour the people who have graduated here, but we’ll open the door to other special circumstances as well,” he said.

In order to make it on the Wall of Honour, individuals need to meet a number of requirements such as alumni being out of school for seven years and teachers being away for at least five. Nominees can also be cultural ambassadors, community builders and entrepreneurs. Posthumous nominations will also be considered.

Andrews said the display will be installed near the school’s main entrance or the gymnasium, so students and visitors see it frequently. Those who are nominated this year but don’t make it on the wall could be added to it in upcoming years.  

“We plan on having an assembly with the school body and inviting those who have been nominated,” Andrews said, adding the ceremony will take place in May. “We want to make it a big deal to celebrate the people who have gone through our building and went on to do some neat things.”
