HCS Wall of Fame
The Hammondsport Central School District Wall of Fame was established in 2005, with the first induction ceremony held in March of that year. The Wall of Fame is broken down into the following three categories:
Lifetime Achievement - former students who have attended Hammondsport Schools and who have performed significant, out-of-the-ordinary accomplishments in the world at large; have contributed to the well-being of their communities, and have reached 40 years of age.
Athletic Achievement - graduates of the district who have performed significant, out-of-the-ordinary athletic accomplishments beyond high school; have contributed to the well-being of their communities; and have reached 40 years of age.
Gold Star - graduates who lost their lives in the line of duty in the Armed Forces of the United States. Gold Star names will be added as they are verified.
