Call for nominations for Kaneland Hall of Fame

To celebrate and commemorate the many accomplishments and achievements of Kaneland graduates, Kaneland Unit School District 302 formed the Kaneland Hall of Fame.

New Hall of Fame inductees will be honored at either an athletic contest during the 2015-2016 school year or during the month of May at one of the many end-of-year celebrations.

All community members, staff and friends of Kaneland are encouraged to nominate individuals or groups for one of the Hall of Fame categories.

The categories include:

• Service: Kaneland High School graduates who have contributed significantly to their community, state or country and have been out of school for at least 10 years.

• Personal Achievement: Kaneland graduates who have been honored or recognized by their college/university, profession or peers for their success and achievements and who have been out of school for at least 10 years.

• Extra-curriculars: Former extracurricular participants in nonathletic or athletic activities who were recognized for excellence by their organization or team for at least two years.
