On Thursday evening, October 5, a roomful of Athertonians, their families and closest friends, celebrated the induction of 9 meritorious inductees to the Atherton High School Hall of Fame. It was the 16th annual Atherton High School Alumni Association Hall of Fame Banquet and Induction Ceremony held at The Olmsted. A cocktail reception kicked off the event highlighted by the well-tuned a cappella singing of the talented Athertones, under the direction of Atherton teacher, Mendy Cumberledge. The induction ceremony was professionally emceed by Rick Van Hoose, a 2004 Atherton Hall of Famer/1979 Atherton graduate and Leesa Mitchell, a 1976 Atherton graduate. They presented Torch awards to the inductees who then gave their respective substantive acceptance speeches. A great night was had by all! The banquet ended on a high note when the Athertones led the singing of “Onward”, Atherton’s alma mater.
