The cases outside Bedford High School Athletic Director Keith Mangan’s office reflect the courtyard, and are full of trophies, testament to the success of BHS teams.

Nominations are open for the fourth class of inductees to the Bedford High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

Former student-athletes, teams, coaches and friends of BHS athletics are eligible for induction. At least five years must have elapsed since nominees were active in high school athletics.

Letters of nomination should include details supporting the nominee’s inclusion in the hall.  Previous letters of nomination have been retained for consideration this year.
