Toccoa-Stephens Co. Schools Hall of Fame Inducts Five

A new class enters the Toccoa-Stephens County Schools Hall of Fame.

Prior to Friday night’s football game at the Reservation, five new members were inducted into the Hall as the Class of 2014.

The five inductees were Dr. Jeffrey Deal, J.B. Hudgins, Jr., Leonard Sheriff, Ken Spratlin, and Leonard Wheeler.

With the addition of the five members of the Class of 2014, there are now 67 members in the Toccoa-Stephens County Schools Hall of Fame.

It was established in 1989 to recognize outstanding graduates and former educators of the Toccoa and Stephens County school systems.

Hall of fame members include those who have excelled in service to the community, military service or in educational, professional or athletic endeavors.

To be eligible, individuals must have graduated from a Toccoa or Stephens County school or have been part of one of the systems.

Hall of Fame recipients must have graduated or retired for 10 years or retired from the professional education system of Stephens County for at least 10 years.

A board of directors accepts nominations yearly for the Hall of Fame and makes its selections from those nominations.
