Hall of Fame
The Fort Hamilton H. S. “Wall of Fame” was erected in 1991 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the school. For over eight years, the awards were located on the first floor. However, as the school expanded and the number of members increased, it was necessary to move the Wall of Fame to the second floor, outside the school library where it resides today.
A diverse group of outstanding graduates represents the very best of our school. They are accomplished educators, physicians, service men and women, lawyers, politicians, community and civil service workers, athletes, musicians, artists and heroes. The FHHS Alumni Association is proud to honor these 57 Hall of Fame inductees.
