The purpose of the Hall of Pride is to highlight the accomplishments of Rondout Valley alumni. The plaques of the inductees are now mounted in the Rondout Valley High School lobby where the Hall of Pride acts as a daily reminder to students of the many wonderful and varied accomplishments Rondout alumni have made in our local community and the world beyond.  In addition to accenting alumni accomplishments, the aim continues to be to create a tradition that enriches relationships and fosters networking among our students, alumni and community members.
