Bolton High School Hall of Fame

Bolton Alumni Association

Bolton High School has a rich history of tradition and excellence, and this year, the Alumni Association has added a new tradition to the list. In March 2024, the inaugural class of the Bolton Hall of Fame was inducted. 

The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to uphold the honor and fame of Bolton High School and establish a valuable link to the past and present students and staff of the school. For almost 100 years, Bolton has graduated students who have gone on to become strong leaders in a variety of fields and communities. Hall of Fame inductees, by virtue of their integrity and accomplishments, serve as ambassadors of Bolton High School and provide connection and inspiration to current students as well as the community.

Nominations for the Hall of Fame are due on October 1, 2024. The induction ceremony is scheduled for April 25, 2025.
