The retired educators are chosen by HCRSPA in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the system to be enshrined in the “Hall of Fame.” The men and women chosen also receive a plaque noting his/her accomplishments. Several criteria have been established to guide the HCRSPA in its selection process: the educator may be living or deceased, but must be retired as an educator; the educator should have devoted the majority of his/her career to teaching and/or being a school or central office administrator in the Harford County Public Schools; the nominee must have been an educator in the HCPS system for at least 20 years; and, the educator does not have to be a member of the HCRSPA.
