Danville High School has recognized outstanding alumni since 1991 through annual
inductions into the DHS Wall of Fame. The purposes of the DHS Wall of Fame include:
? To promote pride in the Danville Public Schools
? To promote pride in Danville
? To provide positive role models for students
Danville High School students are exposed to the Wall of Fame on a daily basis. Inductees’
framed biographies and photographs are hung prominently outside the auditorium in the
office lobby at DHS. Community members also become familiar with our alumni success
stories when they visit the high school.
Any individual may nominate a candidate for the DHS Wall of Fame. Candidates are
preferably graduates of Danville High School or have attended DHS for at least one year.
An independent community committee will review the nominations and select the
inductees for 2024. All nominations are due to the Office of the Superintendent, 110 E.
Williams St., Danville, IL 61832 by Wednesday, January 10, 2024. A nomination form is
attached. Three references must be provided for a candidate to be considered. Forms are
also available on Danville High School’s website at www.danville118.org/WallofFame
under About Us, Wall of Fame.
It is expected that inductees have demonstrated achievement or service above and beyond
the responsibilities of their normal employment.
? Inductees who no longer live in the local community must have distinguished
themselves with excellence nationally, internationally, or within a particular field or
service to humanity.
? Inductees who have remained in the area must have distinguished themselves with
excellence locally or regionally within a particular field or with service to humanity or
have been actively involved in local community service. This category may include a
nominee who achieved locally but later moved away.
Inductees include Congressional Medal of Honor, Academy Award, Emmy Award, and Tony
Award recipients as well as public servants, doctors, teachers, community activists,
athletes, and authors. Your assistance in publicizing our 2024 DHS Wall of Fame
nomination process is appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact the
Superintendent’s office at 444-1004.
