DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI HALL OF FAME

At the first All Class Reunion in 1991 a decision was made to establish a Hall of Fame for Distinguished Alumni. The appointees were selected on their contributions to society, recognition of the nominee in their field of endeavor, and overall accomplishments after graduation from Chillicothe High School. Their pictures will hang outside the Alumni Library, reminding us that they were Cavaliers first.
