Nixa Schools Announces Academic Hall of Fame Inductees
Nixa Public Schools is honored to induct four new people into the Academic Hall of Fame. The purpose of the Academic Hall of Fame is to recognize graduates of Nixa who found success after graduation and also are making an impact on the world around them. This will serve to both highlight those that have graduated from Nixa, but also serve as inspiration for those current students on what they are able to go out and do after graduating from Nixa.
We were unable to host the inductions in 2021 due to COVID, so at the 2022 Gala, we inducted both those selected in 2021 and those selected in 2022 for induction to the Academic Hall of Fame.
2021: Dr. Blake Richter & Michael Stowe
2022: Brian Steele & Kathryn Wall
