On October 29, the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District inducted five worthy individuals and one impressive sports team into its Hall of Distinction (HOD). Launched in 2025, the HOD celebrates the district’s rich heritage and honors individuals and groups who have made significant contributions to the school community.
Nominations were accepted in two categories: Contributor—individuals who have supported MWCSD athletics, arts, or academics for at least five years; and Alumni—graduates who have achieved notable success, made meaningful contributions to society, or brought distinction to their alma mater through their accomplishments. A committee consisting of school community members and staff selected five individuals as the 2026 HOD inductees.
The district also introduced a new Honorary Recognition category to celebrate exceptional collective achievements. This honor recognizes athletic teams, academic organizations and extracurricular clubs that reached extraordinary milestones during their high school years.
Congratulations to the Hall of Distinction 2026 inductees:
