2020 Aberdeen Central High School Hall of Fame Banquet and Induction Postponed to 2021
Due to the effects of the global pandemic, the Aberdeen Central High School Hall of Fame Committee (a subcommittee of the Aberdeen Public Schools Foundation) has made the difficult decision to postpone this fall’s banquet and induction until 2021. The Committee’s priorities are to keep inductees and guests safe as well as preserve the integrity and uniqueness of the CHS Hall of Fame. The nine individuals and one team will be inducted into the CHS Hall of Fame during in the fall of 2021, in conjunction with CHS Homecoming Week activities. The 2021 CHS Homecoming date has not yet been determined.
