Late, Great Schools Can Appear in Hall of Pride

Officials compiling the stats for the “Iowa Hall of Pride” say schools of a bygone era can be included. Jack Lasier of the Iowa High School Athletic Association has started with the 403 existing school districts in Iowa. But he says if folks from a now-closed or merged school want their students’ accomplishments showcased in the Hall of Pride, there’s a way to do it. Lashier says if you want your old, small-town high school included, give him a call at the Iowa High School Athletic Assocation office in Boone. The “Iowa Hall of Pride” will be housed in the exhibit hall of the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines. Computer kiosks will let visitors check out the achievements of students in every school district in the state.
