The Clovis Municipal Schools Foundation and Alumni Committee will honor four former Wildcats at the Clovis High School 2017 Hall of Honor Awards banquet, according to a release from the school district.
The banquet will be held 6 p.m. May 13 at the Clovis Civic Center, and will go on sale April 3 at the Clovis Municipal Schools administration building. Tickets are $40 each, with discounts for tables of eight ($295) and 10 ($350).
The foundation said the purpose is to honor CHS graduates whose achievements set an example to inspire and challenge today’s students.
Inductees are in three categories this year: Government and Service, Sports and Entertainment, and Business and Industry.

He graduated from medical school at Texas Tech University and appeared as a featured trauma surgeon on Learning Channel’s “Trauma, Life in the ER.” He is certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
In addition to the Hall of Honor, the foundation will recognize John and Robyn Snowberger for its Top Cat Award.

The Snowbergers own McDonald’s restaurant franchises in Clovis, Portales and Roswell.
