Nominations for Watertown Hall of Achievement now sought

The Watertown City School District is seeking nominations for 2010 inductees into the district's Distinguished Alumni Hall of Achievement.

The Hall of Achievement is an initiative started by the district in 2001 to honor distinguished Watertown High School graduates, and to provide positive role models for current students. Nominations can be mailed to the district by using this form.

The Hall of Achievement has inducted 36 graduates in past years. Twenty candidates were inducted in 2001 and eight candidates were inducted in both 2003 and 2005.

Anyone can nominate a candidate for the Hall of Achievement, although self-nominations aren't permitted. Candidates must have graduated from Watertown High School at least 10 years ago.

The search committee encourages including materials such as letters of reference, resumes and newspaper clippings with the submission.

The district office must receive all nominations by 4 p.m. Jan. 25. The selected inductees will be announced in February.
