Niskayuna High School Hall of Fame

 

Niskayuna High School graduate Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of AirBnb addresses graduates and guests from the podium at graduation in June 2017.Niskayuna’s Hall of Fame was instituted during the district’s 25th Anniversary celebration in 1983 to honor graduates who have distinguished themselves in a specific field of endeavor, in civic affairs, in humanitarian affairs, or in activities deemed by the Hall of Fame Committee to merit special recognition. We believe the Hall of Fame program will help develop a more positive school climate and bring our community together in sharing the successes of our native sons and daughters. A committee of citizens, students, faculty and administrators selects the inductee from nominations submitted by members of the public each year.
