AVHS Hall of Fame
Hello,
This year Antelope Valley High School will be holding their annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. We will be honoring outstanding individuals whose contributions and accomplishments are an inspiration to decades of AVHS Alumni as well as students who walk the halls of our campus today. Each year we recognize individuals for their accomplishments and contributions in Athletics, Community Service, Education, Faculty, Government Service, Journalism, Science, and Visual and Performing Arts. We celebrate their successes and enjoy hearing about their journey as they have served as extraordinary examples for our students. Examples of perseverance, generosity, commitment, and creativity. Their stories are an inspiration to our students and faculty and serve as a living example of what is possible when we are bold enough to follow our dreams.
Antelope Valley High School is proud to honor the outstanding Alumni and Faculty whose contributions and accomplishments are an inspiration to the students who walk the halls of our campus today. If you are interested in nominating a deserving Alum, please find the nomination form below!
We look forward to celebrating this year’s inductees and receiving your nominations for this year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Schmidt
