The Central Square School District Wall of Distinction was established (spring of 2015) for the purpose of recognizing and honoring graduates and staff members of Central Square School District. Each year, an advisory committee considers nominated graduates who have achieved a high level of prominence in their personal and/or professional lives and who have participated in extensive community service or volunteer activities for induction into the Wall of Distinction. This wall is separate from our Athletic and Fine Arts Walls of Distinction.
Each inductee has his/her picture and biography prominently displayed on the Wall of Distinction which is located at Paul V. Moore High School. Let's get these amazing people recognized!
The Wall of Distinction Ceremony will take place on Wednesday, April 8, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. in the Paul V. Moore High School cafeteria.
