CLEARFIELD -- Clearfield High School is building a Wall of Fame to honor former high school graduates.

It will become part of a four-part Hall of Fame, in which there will also be a career kiosk so students can find mentors in their field of interest.

A memorabilia showcase and a scholarship case will be part of the Hall of Fame giving the names of those who receive a newly-created alumni scholarship. The cases were designed by Brent Brimhall, a former Clearfield High student.
