Pelham Hall of Honor Nomination Form
Pelham is a community that has a long and proud history. The schools have produced
graduates that have made important accomplishments in a wide variety of fields. The faculty
has contained extraordinary teachers who dedicated their careers to the community. Quite a
few Pelhamites have given of themselves in service to our country. Many have provided
years of dedicated service and leadership to community organizations.
We ask your help in nominating individuals to our committee who you believe deserve to be
recognized through this program.
The Pelham Hall of Honor Program Committee, established in September 2008 to honor the
achievements of Pelham Memorial High School graduates and Pelham residents who have
made extraordinary contributions either nationally or locally, has announced the opening of
its nomination period for the 2009 inaugural awards.
We invite Pelham former and current residents to nominate eligible candidates by sending a
biographical summary and photo of the candidate to the Pelham Hall of Honor Program
Committee. Send to Kgk914@aol.com .
The Pelham Hall of Honor award, criteria for the program is:
1. Graduated from PMHS and/or attended any Pelham school,
2. A resident of Pelham or Pelham Manor for a substantial period of their lives,
3. A Pelham Schools faculty or staff member, or a past member of the Board of Education,
4. Career domonstrated extraordinary accomplishments in careers or public service over an

5. Their life's work demonstration the quality and values of their Pelham education,
6. Provided selfless service which benefited the community and nation,

8. Had athletic, cultural, or academic accomplishments as a Pelham student which led to

The Pelham Hall of Honor Program Committee plans to recognize from one to six individuals
annually, with at least 50% being graduates of the Pelham school system. The first group of
honorees will be recognized at a public event this spring and be listed on a plaque displayed
at PMHS and on a Pelham web site. One or more of the honorees will be asked to give a talk
to Pelham students about their achievements and what led to their success. Nominees not
selected in a given year will be eligible for consideration in the following year. We are
targeting the first awards presentation for early June.
“The reason we are establishing this Hall of Honor is the realization that many stories of
Pelham natives or residents have been lost, are not available on the internet, or have never
been recognized". commented Committee Chair Kenneth G. Kraetzer, a PMHS graduate in
1975 and whose family attended Pelham schools as far back as when Siwanoy School
served as the high school. “Fortunately, during the Memorial Day town ceremony, we now
read aloud the stories of Pelham veterans. But there are many others who also deserve to
be remembered. For instance, does anyone remember the PMHS graduate who played in
the Cotton Bowl and Sugar Bowl?”
The Pelham Hall of Honor Program Committee will announce its first class of award recipients
in April.
Members of the Program Committee, who represent a cross section of Pelham organizations,
include David Acocella, Betty Bucher, Martin Ketels, Tom Morrissey, Daragh Murphy, Marilyn
Stiefvater and Todd Zuzulo. Support for the project is being provided by the Foundation of
LCDR Florence Lahey Ollinger, a 1937 graduate of PMHS.
The Program Committee invites residents who are interested in joining its selection
committee to send an e-mail to pelhamhallofhonor@gmail.com for more information.
