Dear Godby High Alumni and Faculty,
Join me in congratulating the 2020 Association of Godby Graduates (AGG) Hall of Fame Inductees. The AGG Hall of Fame recognizes graduates for their life time accomplishments and contributions. These new inductees typify the caliber of Godby High alumni that are working every day to make a difference.  They do us proud.

The Hall of Fame committee has once again selected an outstanding slate to be inducted this March.

Please plan to join the AGG on Friday, March 27, 2020 at 5:30 p.m. in the Godby High Media Center to help celebrate this new slate of Association of Godby Graduates Hall of Fame inductees. Tickets are $25 each or a reserved table for 6 for $150. All proceeds support the AGG scholarship fund. The Godby High National Honor Society students will serve the meal and be recognized.
