District opens call for 2012 nominations

LIBERTY, NY (December 29, 2011) – Nominations are currently being accepted for inductees to the Liberty Central School District Wall of Fame.

The second group of inductees will be selected in early 2012 and honored with a ceremony and breakfast reception prior to Liberty’s graduation on Saturday, June 23, 2012. 

Deadline for submission is Friday, February 25, 2012 at 3:00 p.m.

The Liberty Central School District Wall of Fame was established to honor outstanding Liberty alumni and employees as well as community members who have made a lasting contribution to the district.

Nominees will be judged on exceptional accomplishments or significant contributions within their school, family, career, community or personal life.

The Wall of Fame will be located in the lobby of the David E. Panebaker Auditorium at the Liberty High School.

“We are very excited to welcome a second group of inductees to the Wall of Fame,” said Assistant Superintendent and Wall of Fame Co-Chairperson Carol Napolitano. “There have been many prominent and fascinating individuals who have contributed to our society who have also been a part of our district. It is our goal to share their accomplishments with our community.”

Last year, Liberty inducted seven members to the Wall of Fame during the inaugural year: Dr. Irvin M. Borish (Alumnus, 1930), James Burke (faculty), Alan Gerry (community member), Howard K. Schue (Alumnus, 1959), Sister Patricia Ann Startup (Alumnus, 1965), Lawrence Stier (Alumnus, 1945), and Charles “Woody” Witherwax (faculty). Biographies about all Wall of Fame inductees can be found at www.libertyk12.org.

The nomination application can be downloaded at www.libertyk12.org or picked up at the District Administration Office at 115 Buckley Street, Liberty, NY.
