Stadium Mustard King, Motivational Speaker Among Heights Hall of Famers

A lawyer, hospital president, motivational speaker and a volunteer were among the 10 people inducted into the Cleveland Heights High School Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame on May 2.

The hall of fame was created to honor graduates and to showcase successful adults to be used as role models for the students at the Cleveland Heights High School, according to a prepared statement from the school district.

The public nominates the candidates. A committee of students select the honorees based only on their accomplishments. The students don't know what the nominees names are until after they are chosen.
