To be considered for the Hall of Fame, a candidate must meet the following criteria: 1) The candidate must be an alumni of the Frazier School District; 2) A period of 12 years must have elapsed since the candidate’s graduation; 3) The candidate must have distinguished himself/herself through outstanding achievements in his/her professional career or through outstanding contributions to his/her community or to society.
Under the character of the Hall of Fame, outstanding achievements in one’s professional career are described as accomplishments that make the candidate clearly stand out among his/her colleagues. Outstanding contributions to the community or to society are described as those acts that have led to major improvements in the quality of life in the candidate’s community or in society.
Any Frazier alumni or current student may nominate a candidate for the Hall of Fame. Nominations must be submitted on official forms that are provided by the Hall of Fame Committee.
The Hall of Fame committee will review the nominations and will elect inductees into the Hall of Fame. Up to three inductees may be elected each year.
