The Bonner Springs High School Hall of Fame was established in 2006 as a program that recognizes BSHS alumni who have made significant contributions to their chosen professions or to the Bonner Springs and Edwardsville communities. Beginning with an inaugural group of five in the Class of 2006, the Hall of Fame has welcomed two or more inductees each year.
Hall of Fame candidates are chosen on the following criteria:
– The applicant is an alumni of BSHS
– The applicant has made a significant contribution to his/her profession or to the Bonner Springs/Edwardsville communities
– The applicant is a citizen in good standing
Recognition is awarded to each new inductee with a formal celebration historically in February. The likeness of each member is placed on a wall of honor at the District Physical Education Center.
