Hall of Fame

Hall of Fame Nominations

Nominations are currently OPEN for the 2nd Annual Hall of Fame event. Complete the nomination form to nominate someone for this honor. See below for more information on criteria and categories.

Hall of Fame Overview

The Hall of Fame event was created in 2018 by the Chiles High School Foundation (CHSF) in order to honor and recognize the significant contributions made by the Chiles High School Alumni, retired staff members, and community from classes 2002 through 2013. Since the Spring of 2002, there have been 15 graduate classes at Lawton Chiles High School. These young men and women graduates are now very productive members of society: as scientists, doctors, attorneys, entrepreneurs, computer specialists, business owners, teachers, athletes, military members and veterans, among other professional, certified and skilled career pathways. The CHSF wanted to recognize those alumni, retired staff members, and community members who are noted for high levels of achievement in or contribution to their respective fields of endeavor. These honored alumni, retired staff, and community members are people who exemplify the tradition of excellence promoted at Chiles High School.

Each year, inductees to the Hall of Fame will be introduced to the students and staff during a special ceremony at homecoming or another significant school celebration. At the induction ceremony, each inductee will be presented with a distinctive award. Inductees will also be recognized in local news media and other venues, and will be displayed in a physical Hall of Fame on the Chiles High School campus.
