They are some of the biggest names not only in Bridgeport High School, but they have become synonymous with some of the biggest names in the city as well. And as you read the names below you won’t be surprised they are about to be recognized as among the best to ever walk the halls at BHS.

 

Earlier this week, The Bridgeport High School Alumni & Friends Foundation, Inc. announced its 2018 Hall of Fame Class of inductees. As mentioned, they are a virtual “Who’s Who” of Bridgeport High School.

 

The members chosen for induction include Laura Aliff (Class of 1978), Alan Dye (Class of 1985), Jane Riley (Class of 1967), and Norman Tolley, who will be inducted posthumously. Tolley was a former principal at the school.

 

The group will officially become Hall of Fame members on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 6 p.m. during the annual Alumni & Friends Hall of Fame Dinner. The event will be held at the Bridgeport Conference Center.

 

“This event continues to be an important yearly celebration of school and community,” said Alumni Board Member Chuck Steele.

 

Tickets will soon be available for purchase. When that time comes, they can be acquired through Facebook/Paypal or from any board member. Tickets can also be acquired at the clothing sale that takes place at every Indian home football game inside the gate and up against the home bleachers.

 

The Hall of Fame inductees will be recognized on Oct. 12 at the BHS home football game. For information, contact Cookie Compton at 304-677-2005 or Darletta Stout at 304-203-8300.
