HALL OF EXCELLENCE

The Medway High Alumni Association is the steward of the MHS Hall of Excellence. Created during the 2017–2018 school year, the Hall of Excellence was established to recognize Medway High School Alumni, either as an individual or as a group, who have attained excellence during their life. Excellence will be judged for nominee leadership traits, volunteerism, involvement in their community, their achievements, and their outstanding contributions throughout their careers to society.
