Athletic Hall of Fame

PURPOSE

The Williston Northampton Athletic Hall of Fame was formed to honor those alumni/ae, coaches, and teams who have brought distinction to themselves and the school through their achievements, commitment, sportsmanship and leadership in athletics.  The Hall of Fame, the selection process, and the induction ceremonies will instill in our students and community a sense of purpose, passion, and integrity.

SELECTION  PROCEDURE

The Nominating Committee will seek nominations and make recommendations to the Selection Committee of those individuals it deems worthy of inclusion in the Hall of Fame.  The Selection Committee will review the nominations and make the final selection of inductees.  Selections will occur annually for the first five years and then bi-annually thereafter.  The initial induction will occur on Reunion Weekend while future dates may occur at other.

“We Will Remember Al”: A Yearbook Dedication

The following dedication by Molly Newton was originally published in The Williston Northampton School 2007 Log.

Please and thank you, two simple little words we all could spell by third grade. two simple little words many of us forgot sometime in those long years between third grade and our arrival at Williston; two simple words that Al Lavalle constantly reminded us to say, and never let us get away with forgetting.

Remembering Al Lavalle

Dear Williston Community,

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I report the passing of a highly respected and beloved member of our community. Al Lavalle, a 13-year employee in our Physical Plant Department, died on Sunday, November 25 after a long battle with colon cancer.

One of Al’s positions on campus was working in The Cage in the Athletic Center. It was there that he had a tremendous impact on Williston students and acquired such a great deal of respect that the yearbook was dedicated to him in 2007. Mr. Lavalle, a lover of athletics and a major presence in local youth sports leagues, bestowed life lessons on Williston students about integrity and treating others with respect. His positive effect on the lives of those in this community will long be felt.
