This year's East Alton - Wood River Oiler Hall of Fame class includes members of the military, an attorney, community volunteer, athletic trainer, and a fallen firefighter. The Hall of Fame was created by the East Alton Wood Ricer High School Board of Education in 2009 to recognize the accomplishments of past grads on an every-other-year basis.
The induction ceremony is normally held in October, and if the pandemic precautions allow, that is the plan again this year. Dr. John Pearson, East Alton - Wood River High School District Superintendent tells The Big Z the selection panel looks at each nominee's "body of work."
