Calhoun made the announcement during Pine-Richland’s 50 th Celebration Concert. Calhoun, who is best known for his work on Broadway, is directing Disney’s High School Musical on Tour, which is based on the Disney Channel’s original hit movie. The musical is playing at select cities around the US. For more details, visit: www.highschoolmusicalontour.com.

During the celebration concert, the Pine-Richland Opportunities Fund (PROF) honored Calhoun with a Hall of Fame Award. PROF president Don Foster presented Calhoun with a special plaque.

Foster also awarded 1997 Pine-Richland High School graduate Jonathan Passavant and former Pine Elementary student Martin McKinney with Hall of Fame Awards as well.

1986 Richland High graduate Stephen Frick was the first graduate to be inducted in 2002 into the Hall of Fame. For a look at the Hall of Fame inductees, visit www.pinerichland.org/halloffame.pdf.
