Nominate Someone for the MTHS Hall of Fame

Why does Mount Tabor High School have a Hall of Fame?

In 2010, parents and administrators at Mount Tabor High School came together to create a lasting way to recognize and honor students, teachers and parents who have made outstanding contributions to Mount Tabor High School.

Who do we recognize?

Students, teachers, administrators and parents who have brought honor to the school through their leadership, character, achievement and service.

When can I nominate someone?

Nominations are accepted year round; however, the deadline for the fall class of each year is April 10. For instance, if you want to have a nominee considered for the 2020 Hall of Fame class, you need to submit the nomination form to MTHS by April 10, 2020.

Are there any eligibility requirements?

Student nominations are considered no sooner than 5 years after they have left Mount Tabor and faculty/staff/service(parent) nominees are considered no sooner than 3 years after their service to the school has ended.

Does a student have to graduate from Mount Tabor High School to be considered?

No. However, a student nominee must have been enrolled at Mount Tabor High School during at least part of their high school years.

Examples: (1) A student might have attended Mount Tabor one, two or three years before applying to and being accepted to North Carolina School of the Arts. (2) Between the years of 1971 and 1984, due to school reorganization, Mount Tabor served only 9th and 10th grade students. These students are all still eligible for nomination.

How do I nominate someone?

Download the form at the bottom of this web page. It is strongly recommended for the person submitting the form to fill out the HOF nomination form completely and extensively, even though information may be contained in attachments. Providing a robust application as well as providing some supporting materials will help the committee evaluate the candidate and have a better understanding of why you feel the nominee should be in the Spartan Hall of Fame.

Who do I give the forms to?

Forms can be emailed to Ed Weiss, Principal of Mount Tabor High School at eweiss@wsfcs.k12.nc.us or mailed to Mount Tabor High School, 342 Petree Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27106 or dropped by the Main Office at the school.

A full list of Spartan Hall of Fame inductees and biographies of the 2019 inductees can be found on the Mount Tabor High School website. Nominations are accepted year-round.
