The Hall of Honor is a Garces Memorial Alumni Board event. Each year the Alumni Board accepts nominations from the Garces Community for potential inductees. Alumni Board members review each nominee, then vote for the inductees they deem to be most deserving. The official induction happens at the annual Hall of Honor Awards Banquet held in MLH each fall.
