About the Athletic Hall of Fame

In 1986, the Alumni Association and the Crimson Club created the Athletic Hall of Fame Award to honor sportsmanship, team spirit, and athletic achievement while in school and after graduation. The award recognizes both individuals and teams who have made a mark in athletic competition while at The Beard School, The Morristown School, or Morristown Beard School. Any members of the School community may make a nomination. However, candidates may not be considered for induction until five years after their graduation year. 

Nominate Someone for the Award

Please use the form below or email alumni@mbs.net to nominate any alumni/ae who you would like to see honored.
