Fredericktown to Induct Five Graduates into Alumni Hall of Honor on April 17

Fredericktown Local Schools will recognize five distinguished graduates during its 2026 Alumni Hall of Honor ceremony on Friday, April 17. The induction will take place at 9:15 a.m. in the Fredericktown High School Gymnasium, and the public is invited to attend.

The Hall of Honor celebrates graduates whose achievements, service, and character reflect positively on the district and offer present‑day students meaningful examples of what is possible after leaving Fredericktown. Honorees may be recognized for accomplishments in their careers, contributions to their fields, or significant community service.

This year’s inductees represent a wide range of impact, from medical innovation and public service to global outreach and the arts:

David Dalrymple, Class of 1958. Dalrymple developed patents foundational to MRI imaging and played a key role in commercializing the technology with General Electric. He also helped grow the “Freddies Helping Freddies” scholarship fund to more than $750,000.

Dr. Kyle Randall, Class of 2000. Randall serves as a team physician for Ohio State football as well as professional hockey and baseball organizations. He is chair of the Department of Surgery and medical director of Avita Sports Health, with multiple peer‑reviewed publications advancing sports medicine.

Larry Overholt, Class of 1973. Overholt has spent more than 40 years as a missionary in Honduras, where he founded the country’s 4‑H program and created a vocational agricultural training initiative. He also established a study‑abroad program in partnership with several universities.

Luke Perry, Class of 1984. Perry built a 32‑year career in television, film, and stage, best known for his role as Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills, 90210. He was also a national spokesperson for organ donation and colorectal cancer screening.

Otho Eyster, Class of 1961. Eyster was the longest‑serving judge in Knox County history. He chaired the Ohio Supreme Court’s Board of Commissioners and mentored youth through Big Brothers/Big Sisters for more than two decades.

The district notes that each inductee exemplifies the values of Fredericktown Local Schools and serves as a model for students charting their own paths.
