2022 AGG Hall of Fame
Dear Godby High Alumni and Faculty,
In 2020 the AGG had selected six of our wonderful alumni to be inducted into the AGG Hall of Fame. Due to COVID the AGG was unable to celebrate these individuals with our traditional dinner and ceremony. COVID then delayed the AGG again in 2021.
The AGG is delighted to announce that we have the green light to now celebrate the occasion in April 2022.
Join me in congratulating the 2022 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 is very excited to resume our Hall of Fame program once again and induct the outstanding slate selected two years ago this coming April 2022.
Please plan to join the AGG on Friday, April 1, 2022 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 $30 each or a reserved table for 6 for $175. All proceeds support the AGG scholarship fund. The Godby High National Honor Society students will serve the meal and be recognized.
Contact me, Manny Joanos, at [log in to unmask] , or call 251-1213 for more information and tickets.
The 2022 honorees are:
Michael Proschan, class of 1977, Category: Science/Health
You probably remember Michael as the #1 High School Chess Champion in the State of Florida. However, this FSU Statistics Ph.D. is much more than that.

Michael has co-authored 2 books and has contributed to 169 other books, articles, journals etc. Michael is currently the Mathematical Statistician for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Ray Marchant, class of 1980, Category: Fine Arts
Yet another marching Cougar done good. This FSU Communications Master has an unbelievable number of Credits to his name. As a Producer or Director Ray has worked on dozens of Disney/MGM, iCandy TV, Celine Dion, Queen, Toby Mac, Deep Purple, Star Search, and many other productions. I, for one, want to hear about his work for Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee.
Tony Jordan, class of 1989, Category: Civic Duty/Military
While Tony is not in the military per say, Tony is a Department of Defense employee serving military families abroad. In this case, Okinawa, Japan. Tony was in the National Art Honor Society as a Cougar and he continues his love of art today. Tony is an FSU Art Education Master and he teaches art to our American middle schoolers of military families. Tony is a very accomplished artist in his own right, winning multiple art recognitions throughout Japan.
Stephanie “Dobson” Webster, class of 1992, Category: Professional
Stephanie started off as a teacher in Bainbridge Ga. She then returned to FSU to pursue a Law Degree. Stephanie’s path from there has been straight up.

As a former cheerleader, Stephanie supported Godby Cougar athletes, she now supports Florida Police Officers across the State of Florida.
