In front of a packed restaurant, 6 local students were honored on the Wall of Fame at Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken in Bellefontaine Tuesday evening.
The wall hosts Bellefontaine City School students and Calvary Christian students each quarter of the school year.
Each school was asked to select one student and provide a summary of why the student was chosen.
Their photo and the summary now hang in the restaurant on the Wall of Fame.
They were each selected for their leadership, selfless service to others, and dedication to making the community better.
The retired owner of Lee’s Chicken, Scott Griffith, continues to support the Wall of Fame because he believes it is important to recognize excellent students who go above and beyond.
Listed below are the students and what their schools had to say about why they were selected:
