The Alexandria Public Schools Education Foundation is seeking nominations for its next class of Hall of Fame inductees.

Anyone may submit a nomination. The Foundation Board will make honoree selections based on the following criteria:

--Nominees must have realized distinctive achievements in their chosen field(s) that include such areas as business, education, science, professions or community service.

--Nominees may or may not be currently holding the position(s) in which they achieved major success.

--Nominees may be living or deceased.

Nominations may be submitted by completing a Hall of Fame nomination form on www.alexandria.k12.mn.us/halloffame.

If submitting by mail, send to Alexandria Public School Education Foundation, PO Box 308, Alexandria, MN 56308.
