Getting deserving alumni recognized and more involved with the school. Those are the main reasons principal Tim Carlson wanted to establish a music hall of fame at Sycamore High School.

“We are trying to focus on bringing our alumni back to the school,” Carlson said in a news release. “We have always had a great music program and have had a lot of people go out and do great things in the world. They are all over the country and the world.”

Earlier this month, three SHS alumni – Jeffrey Hepker, Kirk Lundbeck and Ann Montzka-Smelser – were the first class inducted into the school’s music hall of fame.
