Hall of Fame

Fair Grove Hall Of Fame Monument

Some achieved greatness on the world stage. Others let their stars shine right here at home. But their stories all began at Fair Grove Schools.

The Fair Grove Alumni Association Hall of Fame has been recognizing superior achievement by Fair Grove High School alumni since 2018, however the dedicated service and soaring achievements of our Eagles began long before current days. With inductees spanning the decades of Fair Grove history, we ensure that even those who are now gone will not soon be forgotten.
