The 2023 Pleasantville Hall of Fame banquet and induction ceremony is taking place tonight at Pleasantville High School.

This event will honor the third annual class being inducted into the Pleasantville Hall of Fame. The 2023 Hall of Fame class includes long time golf coach Dan Calhoun, basketball legend Linda Johns, distinguished graduate and inventor Frank Jolly, Pleasantville CSD contributor Pat Myers, dance team coach Lois Turnage, and the 1993 state championship girls golf team. Pleasantville Athletic Director Joel Allman says events like these are ways to honor the past and show that to current students.

“We’re really happy to get another class inducted into the hall of fame, and we look forward to being a sustainable hall of fame from year to year. We’re honoring our past but I also hope that our students walk the halls and look at our plaques and displays and they listen to the speeches from Saturday. Hopefully it inspires our future because Pleasantville continues to have pride in all of our activities, academics, and school efforts.”

The evening will start with a social hour at 5:00pm, then dinner at 6:00 pm cooked by Pleasantville alumni, and the induction ceremony to follow.
