Accepting Nominations: Honoring the Legacy of Bowie’s Hall of Honor

The Hall of Honor in Bowie shines as a symbol of gratitude and remembrance, celebrating those who helped shape the city’s heart and future. Since its creation in 1991, it has recognized residents whose unwavering service and dedication left a permanent imprint on the community. It stands not merely as a collection of plaques, but as a living testament to the courage, generosity, and vision that define Bowie’s spirit.

Every inductee represents a story of impact—a teacher who shaped lives, a civic leader who sparked change, or a volunteer who gave tirelessly for the greater good. Though they are no longer with us, their legacies live on in the city’s streets, schools, and shared memories.

Through heartfelt nominations and annual ceremonies, Bowie preserves its rich history while inspiring future generations to make a difference. The Hall of Honor reminds us that one person’s passion and purpose can transform an entire community.

Nominations must be received no later than 5:00 PM on Monday, March 3, 2025
