The district’s new Hall of Fame Courtyard, located between the Noblesville Schools Community Center and Beaver Stadium, features an honoree monument, walking path, reflection benches and landscaping.

The courtyard was funded out of construction project savings from a bond (loan) with no increase to the tax rate and no classroom dollars.

Generous donations also supported the courtyard, with Hagerman Group donating the concrete, and CCHA and The Peony Festival organization donating and planting peonies.

The Noblesville Schools Hall of Fame celebrates the legacy of those who have demonstrated exceptional service, support, accomplishments, or contributions to Noblesville Schools, and is a collaboration between Noblesville Schools and the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation.

Honorees are selected based on community nominations. Eligibility criteria, nomination guidelines and the application to nominate can be found at tinyurl.com/NoblesvilleHoFnominations.
