To create the museum, each student chose a topic that is relevant to one of the time periods. Topics range from buildings, people, activities or objects. Students research their topics, draft essays, present to their classmates and create 3-D models that serve as a visual representation of their projects.
During the museum, student visitors stop by each exhibit and hear about the display and topic from a sixth-grade presenter before having their museum“ passport” stamped.
Inductees will be announced in June and recognized during the Annual Sports Hall of Fame dinner in the fall. Former inductees are encouraged to attend. Nomination forms are available on the district’ s website www. nhsd. net or by calling the Athletics & Activities Office at 412.318.1438.
Completed nomination forms should be forwarded to Activities Coordinator Chelle Zimmerman at North Hills High School, 53 Rochester Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15229.
