Today is the day we all head home—but what a weekend it was.
The 2026 FAHS Hall of Fame Induction in Raleigh, NC was truly something special. From start to finish, it was a celebration of legacy, community, and everything that makes Frankfurt… Frankfurt.
We honored an incredible group of inductees, spanning many generations. Seeing the captain of the 1992 and 1993 football team, Chad Nighbert ’93 and the captain of the 1989 Basketball Champs, Mike Kinder ’90, there to accept on behalf of their teams was a powerful reminder of what those years meant and continue to mean.
We were proud to recognize our Mentor Honorees—Lisa Arnot, Ken Van Lew, Paul Cossell, and Ralph W. Ashland—whose lasting impact on generations of students truly reflects the heart and legacy of Frankfurt.
It was an honor to spend time with so many remarkable individuals—meeting Lieutenant General Mark Simerly ‘80, and celebrating Phim Giannakis ‘78, Louis Bond 82 , Dolores Ashland ‘81, Peter Crepeau ‘84, Kelly Vervisch ‘86, Holly Slone ‘90, Jim Ruetze ‘88, and so many others. Watching Brian Moseley ‘90 be inducted by his teammate Tommy Block was special, and Marquel’s speech was simply unforgettable. Dana Hatter ‘92 reminded us that the Frankfurt legacy continues through family, resilience, and purpose.
Our Board is the best and we could not have done it without you. THANK YOU 🖤💛🦅
A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. McDonald, Mrs Arnot and Coach Charlie Toth—for their time, their presence, and their continued commitment to their students more than 30 years later.
Most importantly, thank you to the Frankfurt Eagles who showed up, supported, and gave back—with incredible energy and generosity throughout the weekend.
Until next time…
Eagles über alles.
