Hall of Fame Induction Pages
Biographies, photographs and videos of every Hall of Fame inductee class from the inaugural 1999 ceremony through 2024.
Sources: Most of the pictures and biographies for the inductees were taken from the original scripts written by the alumni association committee at the time of the induction. Most of them appeared in Alumni Association newsletters by Rosalind Merritt (HOF) and others. In most cases, time has passed and what was described then may no longer be current. Some additional information and updates were taken from the Hall of Fame Legacy Booklet that was created with the Inductee's own words in 2017. Where necessary, some information has been taken from internet sites and is noted. Video biographies were made for the last several years by students of the MBSHS Film Club. Previous videos were made by members of the MBSHSAA and will be included on these pages as they are located and reformatted. An effort has been made to update information about deceased inductees which are noted with an asterisk (*). The association would be happy to correct any misinformation or note the death of an inductee. Any alumni who have copies of original induction videos are urged to contact us!
