The Brentwood Borough High School Hall of Fame will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its inaugural induction by adding four graduates and honoring three additional Spartans.

Brentwood High School Hall of Fame weekend is set for October 2-3, highlighted by the HOF Banquet on Saturday, Oct. 3 at Salvatore’s in the South Hills.

The Hall of Fame did not induct any new members last year (induction events are held every other year). Last October, all former inductees were invited to return to celebrate 25 years of the Hall of Fame. The first class was inducted in 2001.

The two Class of 2025 inductees are Kevin Kissel ’74 and Mary Beth (Hartner) Nobs ’77 and the members of the Class of 2026 are Ronda R. Henning ’75 and Deacon Peri Jude Radecic ‘78.

Two former members of the Brentwood SD staff will receive the ‘Circle of Excellence Award’ - Anthony D. Chiappetta and Gary Cramer. The ‘Spirit of Community Award’ will be presented to Jeff Healy, a 1981 Brentwood HS graduate.

The seven honorees will have a full day of activities on Friday, Oct. 2, which is Brentwood High School Hall of Fame Day. Their day will begin with a welcome breakfast at the high school and then each honoree will visit with students in two classes. The honorees will participate in a panel discussion with Brentwood juniors and seniors and then tour the middle-high school.

The seven honorees will be recognized at 6:30 p.m. prior to the Spartans’ Oct. 2 football game with Monessen in Brentwood Stadium. On Oct. 3, dinner will begin at Salvatore’s at 6 p.m. followed by the induction and awards ceremony.

The Brentwood High School Hall of Fame was established in the spring of 2000 and the inaugural class was inducted in 2001. It is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised primarily of Brentwood alumni and, one ex-officio member who is the high school principal. The Trustees attempt to identify alumni whose work has been distinctive in their field or who have made distinctive contributions to the community.

A commemorative plaque with the names of HOF members is displayed in the annex entrance to the Brentwood Middle-High School. The HOF Induction Banquet and HOF Day at Brentwood High School are biennial events which welcome new alumni as members and provide an opportunity for these distinguished graduates to interact with current BHS students. 
In 2012, the Trustees created the Circle of Excellence (COE) award to recognize former Brentwood educators whose leadership and dedication have resulted in widespread esteem and longstanding appreciation among BHS graduates.

The Trustees established the Spirit of Community Award in 2016. This honor recognizes the voluntary contributions of an individual alumnus or group of alumni who have made valuable contributions to the Brentwood community.
