MONTICELLO, NY (February 8, 2013) – Nominations are currently being accepted for inductees to the newly-created Monticello Central School District Hall of Distinction (HOD).

This initiative is intended to establish a tradition that honors highly successful graduates, former students and former employees who have achieved distinction, outstanding accomplishment or significant contribution within their school, family, career, community and/or personal lives.

The new Hall will be located in the lobby outside the Arnold Packer Hughes Auditorium at Monticello High School.

The inaugural group of recipients will be selected by the HOD committee in the spring of 2013 and honored at a reception at the National Senior High School Honor Society induction in the fall of 2013.

“The Hall of Distinction inductees will represent the caliber of students who attended the Monticello School District and the contributions and achievements of our former staff members,” said Superintendent of Schools Daniel A. Teplesky. “It will also be a positive motivational force for our current students.”

Nomination forms are available at the MCSD Administration Office, 237 Forestburgh Road in Monticello or on the district website at www.monticelloschools.net. Nominations must be submitted by April 15, 2013. For more information, please call Laura McAndrew at 845-794-7700, ext. 70511.
