Wall Of Fame



The Wall of Fame has been created to honor and publicly recognize MHS Alumni who have "made a name" for themselves.  This permanent display at the MHS West Campus will hopefully provide some direction and inspiration for our current and future Manhattan High School students.  Up to four nominated MHS graduates will be honored by the MHSAA annually, with plaques permanently displayed at MHS West Campus and a paper copy at the MHSAA Museum.  Duplicate Wall Of Fame plaques will be presented to Honoree and family (or just family if presented posthumously) at a public MHS event.
