The McKeesport High School Alumni & Friends Association once again is accepting nominees for induction into the McKeesport High School Hall of Fame.

Anyone can nominate, said Linda Croushore, association president. Candidates must have attended McKeesport schools, have graduated at least 10 years ago if they completed high school here, and have gone onto lives marked by outstanding accomplishments in the public or private sectors.

Applications are being sought now for the 2013 class, to be inducted at the annual Alumni Recognition Night dinner and program on Sept. 7 at Pluma, North Huntingdon Twp.

This will be its 26th class of inductees, a spokeswoman said. To date, 170 people have been elected to the McKeesport High School Hall of Fame.

Over the years, several members have returned to the high school and shared their expertise and experiences with present-day students. "The honorees are great role models for our young people," Croushore said.

Nominations must be made in writing and should include an up-to-date biography and, if possible, a photo of the nominee. Applications may be obtained at the association office, 410 Ninth Ave., Downtown, or by writing to McKeesport High School Alumni & Friends Association, P.O. Box 432, McKeesport, PA 15134.

They also may be printed from the alumni association's website at www.tcfpe.org.

Candidates are evaluated by a special steering committee of the alumni organization and selections are announced in early summer. The deadline for submitting nominees for consideration for the 2013 class is April 30.

The McKeesport High School Alumni & Friends Association is an initiative of The Consortium for Public Education. For more information, call (412) 678-9215.
