Quote from Brad Rankin (Class of 1983 and member of the formation committee):
Gardner High School, Edgerton Rural High School, and Gardner Edgerton High School all have a rich heritage. Many graduates of the three high schools became productive citizens of the area, region, state, nation, and the world. Honoring these graduates will help preserve our heritage and encourage the current students at Gardner Edgerton High School to follow in their footsteps.
Quote from Tim Brady (GESF Exec Director and member of the formation committee):
In my 40+ years of being connected with students who have graduated from Gardner Edgerton, I marvel at our outstanding alums. Hundreds of former students have made significant contributions to their community and/or profession. Now, we can formally recognize these individuals through the Alumni Hall of Fame. It is an honor for the GE Schools Foundation to partner with the school district in paying tribute to these men and women who have made their mark in society.
