Distinguished Acheivement Hall of Fame

Since 1999, the Brainerd Public Schools Distinguished Achievement Hall of Fame has inducted graduates of Brainerd High School, and two legendary Brainerd Public Schools administrators, to this select body of extraordinary men and women.

The Distinguished Achievement Hall of Fame is an honor which has been bestowed upon approximately 80 of tens of thousands of graduates from Brainerd Public Schools over the course of its 150 years of providing public education to the youths of Brainerd, and for some 500 square miles of central Minnesota and parts of several adjacent counties.
