On February 24,
2005, the Hamilton County Chapter of the University
of Tennessee National Alumni Association hosted its
second annual Hamilton County High School Honors Dinner.
The Honors Dinner recognizes top High School Juniors
at public and private High Schools in Hamilton County.
The purpose of the Honors Dinner is to encourage the
best and brightest students in Hamilton County to attend
colleges within Tennessee with the additional hope that
Tennessee's best and brightest students will return
to work in Tennessee.
The 2005 Honors
Dinner featured appearances by Dr. John Petersen, President
of the University of Tennessee, Dr. Fred Obear, Interim
Chancellor of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga,
and student performers from the University of Tennessee
at Chattanooga. The 2005 Honors Dinner was held at the
Chattanoogan Hotel. Annually, the Hamilton County Chapter
of the University of Tennessee National Alumni Association
solicits sponsorships from UTNAA Alumni and friends
to cover the cost for the students attending the honors
dinner. This year, around 450 people (including Students,
Principles, Counselors, Sponsors and Board Members)
attended the High School honors dinner. View photos
