Background
In the early 1980s, the idea for a "Hall of Honor" came up at a CHS parent meeting. The Class of 1963 provided seed money to establish the Hall in 1989. DHS/CHS graduates and school personnel serve on the Board of Directors. In 1989 the first honorees were inducted.
Financial Base
The Hall of Honor is funded privately. Donations have been received from class reunion committees, individuals, community organizations, and businesses.
