Sam Andrews

Educational Hall of Honor

The Sam Andrews Educational Hall of Honor was established in 1980 by the Oakwood Board of Education on behalf of countless persons in the community whose lives were influenced by the dedicated service of Sam Andrews as teacher, coach, and friend from 1944 to his death in 1977. The intent and purpose of the Hall of Honor is to commemorate the high ideals that characterized Sam Andrews life and to provide a vehicle for others who want to honor and place in perpetuity for remembrance and inspiration those persons whose lives and careers are or have emulated that of this distinguished educator. During Sam Andrews career, he won the love and devotion of many students whose lives he touched as teacher and coach, the esteem and respect of countless more who knew him in their capacity as parents or patron of the school district, and unqualified admiration of the teachers with whom he worked. But, more importantly than all of these attributes, he was a friend to all with whom he came in contact. As an educational leader, Sam had an innate capacity to challenge the best from all those who worked with him and for him. He disciplined himself and all who would join him with seemingly limitless energy in the pursuit of excellence, not only in the classroom but also in numerous school activities. The Oakwood school district and the community are genuinely indebted to Sam Andrews for the legacy of distinguished service both to the boys and girls and to the men and women whose lives he helped to shape.
