The Foundation is considering working with the Haverford Alumni Association to establish a Haverford School District Hall of Fame for our accomplished graduates in fields other than sports.  If you know an accomplished graduate, please send us his or her name, contact information and the reasons why you think he or she should be honored.

Would you be interested in working on getting the Hall of Fame started?  Let us know by emailing info@haverfordedfoundation.org.
