The Unionville-Chadds Ford School District values the contributions its alumni make to the world after graduation. The Superintendent’s office and Director of Communications and Community Relations manage the Wall of Honor (WOH) recognition process. Anyone can nominate a candidate for WOH recognition, during the nomination period. A nominating committee, appointed to a one-year term by the superintendent, and comprised of representatives from the district and community will review the nominations and narrow them down, while a voting committee will determine the winners from the nominations. WOH winners will receive year-round recognition on an actual wall at the high school and in-person recognition during a celebration at Unionville High School.

Criteria for Nomination to the Wall of Honor:

• Candidates must be Unionville-Chadds Ford School District graduates
• Must have graduated at least 5 years prior to the nomination
• Models high standards of excellence in personal and/or professional life.
• Must have attained a high level of achievement in at least one of the following areas:
  • personal and/or professional life
  • community/humanitarian service
  • lifelong commitment to educational excellence

How are honorees selected?
A committee of Unionville-Chadds Ford School District community members will select outstanding graduates annually.

Is there a deadline?
Nominations are made annually on a schedule to be established by the Wall of Honor Committee

When did this project begin?
The first class of honorees was inducted in November 2008.

Is there an actual wall?
A wall of plaques honoring each inductee is located in the lobby of Unionville High School.

How do I submit a nomination?
You can submit a nomination electronically by completing this fillable nomination form (you must download the PDF in order to begin filling in the sections). If you would prefer to print a hard copy and write in your nomination, you may do so.
