CHARLES M. RUSSELL MIDDLE SCHOOL
WALL OF FAME
Charles M. Russell Middle School's Wall of Fame was begun in 1991 to promote pride, spirit and a sense of tradition. We wanted our students to have alumni to look up to and try to emulate. We are the only middle school in the area that has a Wall of Fame for more than just athletics.
Each year Russell Middle School selects one or more outstanding former Russell students to be inducted into our Wall of Fame. These people are honored with a reception, given a certificate, a photo of them along with a brief description of their success is displayed in the main hallway of our school, and information about them is kept in a scrap book in the Media Center. In order to be considered for our Wall of Fame, the person must be at least 21 years of age, have excelled in their chosen field, and contributed to their community. In the past we have highlighted former students in the fields of performing arts, education, military service, athletics, medicine, business and volunteerism.
