By Julie Perine on July 13, 2024

The Bridgeport High School Alumni & Friends Foundation I pleased to announce 2024 Hall of Fame inductees.
 
This year’s honorees are founding foundation member Beverly "Cookie" (McGinnis) Compton, former BHS teacher Julie (Jarvis) Tomes, loyal volunteer Tom Mellott and singer, songwriter, music producer and instrumentalist Scott Simons. Being honored posthumously is William A. Moore, former BHS principal. 
 
“The alumni foundation and the Bridgeport community has once again chosen well deserved individuals,” said BHS Alumni & Friends Foundation President Teresa Lunsford. “We are so pleased to honor them and their accomplishments.”
