The Williamsville Schools Wall of Fame recognizes distinguished alumni of the Williamsville Central School District who serve as role models for today's students, demonstrating the importance of school and the power of learning. The Wall of Fame is sponsored biennially by the Williamsville Education Foundation. We host the Induction Ceremony and present commemorative display plaques to the honorees, their high school alma maters, and the school district.

Seven distinguished alumni were inducted into the Williamsville Wall of Fame on November 2011. The graduates from South, North, and East high schools are, from left, Domenic Cortese, South High Class of 1974; Dr. Laura Swiler, East High Class of 1983; Dr. Jane Leland, South High Class of 1976; Laura LaDuca, North High Class of 1976; Torey Hirsch, North High Class of 1975; Daniel Foote, East High Class of 1982; and John Askey, North High Class of 1981.

We have an Awards Breakfast to introduce honorees to the public and to showcase the caliber of graduates of the Williamsville schools. After the ceremony, new inductees return to their schools to be guests of honor at special student assemblies. The Wall of Fame and Awards Breakfast link the past with today, as the new Wall of Fame members speak to current students about achieving their dreams.

Since the program began in 2000, 75 alumni have been inducted into the Williamsville Wall of Fame. The honorees have included entrepreneurs, musicians, authors, physicians, scientists, professors, entertainers, government officials, journalists, law enforcement and military officers, all of whom have attained great success in their careers and serve as role models in their communities.
