LHS Hall of Fame Ceremony

The Litchfield High School Hall of Fame ceremony is coming up on November 7th in the Litchfield High School commons with a reception at 6 p.m. and a program at 7 p.m. Four Litchfield High School graduates are being honored this year.

Litchfield High School Hall of Fame committee member Marcia Provencher, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame last year, says they used to have the ceremony prior to the Indoor Marching Band concert, but this year, they are having their program on a separate night – November 7th. She says this year’s Hall of Fame inductees include Andrew Revering and Donald “Pokey” Schreifels – both from the class of 1961, the late Mark Wood from the class of 1971 and Debra Freitag Baker from the class of 1981.

Provencher says they started inducting LHS graduates into the Hall of Fame in 2013, and Ann Olson Montgomery from that first group in 2013 will be speaking during the program on November 7th, along with David O’Fallon who was inducted in 2018. She says they recognize people for the great things they’ve done with their lives, and when she calls the inductees to tell them that they’ve been selected, they are so thrilled.

Provencher says each of this year’s inductees will have a chance to speak during the induction program and Lynn Wood will be speaking on behalf of her husband, Mark; and there will also be a pinning ceremony for some of the past local inductees. She says anyone can nominate a Litchfield High School graduate for the Hall of Fame and forms are available at Litchfield High School or from any committee member. The Litchfield High School Hall of Fame committee members include Leanne Kess, Karen Brink, Julie Rick, Barry Anderson, Lois Konietzko, Jim Haugo, Ron Johnson, Dean Urdahl, Greg Mathews and Marcia Provencher.
