2023 Hall of Honor

The Hall of Honor was created to recognize the outstanding achievements of our alumni and friends. Part of what makes this event so special is the opportunity for our students and overall community to learn about and recognize the important contributions our inductees have made and continue to make.

We are incredibly proud to announce our 2023 Badin Hall of Honor Class! This year's inductees include:

Bill Mulcahey '63 (posthumously) - Fr. Francis J. Miller Award for Distinguished Faculty/Staff
Fr. Ed Pratt - Carpenter's Hands Award
Alberta Fuerst Wirsch '54 - Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award
Fred Saurber '62 - Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award
Andy Schuster '88 - Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award
Dr. Katie Lintner Miller '05 - Distinguished Young Alumni Achievement Award

The dinner and induction ceremony will be held on Thursday, September 21 at the Courtyard by Marriott in downtown Hamilton.

We are seeking nominations for our 2024 Hall of Honor class! Nomination forms can be found HERE and completed forms can be sent to Kim Graham at kgraham@BadinHS.org. In order to be considered for the yearly review, nomination forms must be received by January 1. Received nomination forms are reviewed in January of each year and the new class of inductees are announced each Spring. All nominations are kept from year to year and reviewed by the committee each year for possible inclusion in the upcoming class.
