A digital Hall of Fame on the school system's website includes photos, short biographies and videos of inductees.
A partnership between the school system and the Chesterfield Education Foundation, the Hall of Fame recognizes former employees and volunteers who made a significant difference for students, schools and the community. Several sponsors contributed to this year's induction gala: TowneBank was the title sponsor, Google was a gold sponsor, and Bob Dalton of Long & Foster was a silver sponsor.
Nominations are now open for 2027 inductees into the Hall of Fame. Former employees and volunteers can be nominated online before Aug. 31 .
