With pride we present this Inspiration Wall dedicated to the men and women who called Berlin home and whose achievements have benefited their profession, sport, business or the citizens of this earth.
It is hoped that these brief biographical sketches will provide incentive to the students of Berlin, to learn more, to aim for like values, to believe in their own potential, and to reach for the stars. Challenges in the future are many. The accomplishments of these and future honorees are presented as motivation and inspiration for everyone to believed in themselves and go the extra mile.
The project, “Be Proud, Be Inspired” is a joint effort with the Berlin Area Historical Society and the Berlin Area School System.
