Nominations Open for 2025 BHS Alumni & Friends Foundation Hall of Fame

By Julie Perine on January 21, 2025

The Bridgeport High School Alumni & Friends Foundation announces that nominations are open for 2025 Hall of Fame inductees.
 
The Hall of Fame is open to BHS graduates and non-BHS graduates. Alumnae must have benefited society or the community in which they live, excelled in their chosen field, or directly contributed to BHS through time or talent. Those not graduating from BHS must have directly benefited BHS through time or talent.
 
Being inducted into the Bridgeport Hall of Fame is indeed a prestigious honor, said Alumni & Friends Foundation President Teresa Lunsford.
 
“We want to honor the individual's outstanding achievements or contributions to the Bridgeport community as well as their own community,” she said. Their hard work and dedication makes the world a better place not only in the present, but for future generations.”
 
To be considered for the honor, the BHS Alumni board takes nominations from Bridgeport or anywhere in the world.
 
“The board then meets and selects typically four individuals for that year. Should a nominee not be inducted into the Hall of Fame, they will continue to be eligible for consideration in subsequent years,” Lunsford said.
 
 This year’s inductees will be honored at a BHS football game and the annual Hall of Fame Banquet, dates yet to be determined.
 
Board members are Lunsford, Vice President Jenny Starkey-Reed, Secretary Jenna Robey, BHS Principal Renee Matthews, J.D. Lister, Julie Bumgardner, Julie Perine, Jaqueline Fleece, Patrick Snell, Christa Randolph and Alice Rowe.
 
Hall of Fame inductees for 2024 were Julie Tomes, Tom Mellott, Beverly "Cookie" Compton, Scott Simons and the late William A. Moore. 
 
The BHS Alumni & Friends Foundation Inc. is a nonprofit organization that offers financial assistance to students interested in furthering their education. The organization raises funds to offer scholarship opportunities for each graduating class.
 
A nomination form can be accessed HERE.
 
 Please return to bhs1alumni@gmail.com or BHS Alumni & Friends Foundation, P.O. Box 201, Bridgeport WV 26330.
