GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - The Green Bay Area Public School District announced the first eight members of its new hall of fame on Tuesday.
The district chose those eight from over 50 nominations after initially announcing the creation of their Hall of Fame in April.
Two of those being inducted including Packers co-founder Curly Lambeau and Nancy Nussbaum, the first woman elected mayor of De Pere and the first female Brown County Executive.
The hall is being created to honor the contributions of alumni both in our area and around the world.
They’ll be honoring the eight inductees on October 11th. That’s when the district will be holding a ceremony for all eight. While one has passed away and one is overseas, they’ll all be celebrated and honored for what they’ve provided to the world.
The rules of induction require that they need be graduates of a Green Bay area public school at least 20 years ago.
“We kind of looked at everybody holistically, and had a nomination committee review everybody together,” Amy Fish, Associate Director of Community Partnerships and Grants.
Inductees served missions abroad during COVID, served as top-level military leaders, invited groundbreaking veterinary medicine, and helped found the Packers.
All graduated from a Green Bay Area Public School. The superintendent said this shows every child graduating from a Green Bay school that they can accomplish so much with the foundation of learning they’ve been provided.
“Green Bay Area Public School District is a great place to be it’s a great place to learn and we have great examples of why,” said Superintendent Vicki Bayer.
