ESTABLISHMENT

In the spring of 2004, the Carthage Central School District Board of Education established the Distinguished Contributor Hall of Achievement. The Hall of Achievement was established to "Recognize and celebrate persons associated with the Carthage Central School District by honoring those who have made outstanding contributions of time and talent, and served as positive role models for students of the District and the community at large." The establishment of the Hall of Achievement and the selection of the first inductee, Paul Marolf, coincided with the District's 50th Anniversary celebration. All inductees pictures are displayed in the commons area outside of the high school auditorium.

The Board of Education will seek nominations for induction on an annual basis. The Board of Education is encouraging community members to submit nominations for consideration.
