About the event

Canton McKinley High School Hall of Distinguished Alumni Induction Ceremony
The Canton City School District and McKinley Senior High School have established the Canton McKinley Hall of Distinguished Alumni to honor individuals whose lives and accomplishments exemplify the district’s core values of Excellence, Leadership, and Building Community.

The Inaugural Class of 2025

The 2025 Class of the Canton McKinley Hall of Distinguished Alumni features twelve outstanding graduates whose careers span public service, education, sports, entertainment, the military, and community leadership. Each honoree has not only excelled in their field but also served as a powerful role model for McKinley students and the Canton community.

This first celebration also introduces a special Heritage Class, recognizing trailblazing alumni posthumously — individuals whose legacies continue to inspire.

Created to honor McKinley’s tradition of excellence, the Hall celebrates the values that define Bulldog pride: hard work, resilience, innovation, and service.

Led by McKinley alum R.J. Van Almen, the selection committee reviewed many inspiring stories to choose this inaugural group — setting the tone for a lasting tradition of celebrating excellence.
