Committee members will vote and forward the names of the inductees to the school board.

In March, the school board will approve the inductees and then Art Teacher Jon Benash will work with students on the artwork and Technical Education Teacher Niko Bethelon will work with students to create the plaques.

It’s a great day to be a Wildcat.
