Oakes, ND (OPS) – Oakes Public School (OPS) invites submission of nomination petitions to be considered for induction to our Hall of Fame.  Many worthy individuals have provided outstanding service or brought honor to Oakes Public Schools.  Hall of Fame inductees must have made significant contributions to Oakes Public Schools and must have been separated from OPS for at least three years before induction.  Nominees may be former students, staff, administration, school board members, volunteers, or the public.  Nominees are not required to be graduates of Oakes Public Schools. 

The Oakes Public School Hall of Fame was created in 2004 to recognize and honor the accomplishments of individuals in academics, athletics, fine arts, and other achievements, as well as outstanding contributions and dedication to Oakes Public Schools.  With the addition of Mrs. Susan German in 2023, twenty-six people have been inducted to the OPS Hall of Fame.  Information about all inductees may be found on the OPS website at https://www.oakes.k12.nd.us/inductees.  Plaques honoring the inductees are displayed in the activities lobby at the school.

Nominating petitions must be submitted to the school district office by May 1 to be considered for induction in 2024.  The school board will name inductees by June 30.  Nomination forms are available on the Oakes Public Schools website (https://www.oakes.k12.nd.us/nomination).  Paper forms are available from Cari Haugen or Maureen Wentworth in the district’s Central Office.  If you have previously nominated someone that has not been selected, please consider updating the nomination with any new or additional information.
