The school board just confirmed that the gymnasium will officially be named in honor of Coach Hall. I am truly stunned by this result and I know it only happened because you all cared enough to get behind this idea. Please keep an eye out for the dedication ceremony details …

It is long overdue, but there is no time like the present either. After 1 year out of his second retirement from basketball, it is time that the South Newton School Corporation names the gymnasium after long time Boys Head coach and Athletic Director Mike Hall.
This petition is in support of renaming the currently unnamed gym at South Newton High School the Michael E. Hall Gymnasium.
Coach Hall was the head basketball coach for 26 years at South Newton compiling a record of 338-286 while on the sidelines for the Rebels.
Coach Hall was Conference Coach of the Year 6 time as South Newton
He was the Rensselaer Republican Coach of the Year 8 times as a Rebel.
WLQI Coach of the Year 7 times.
Holiday Tournament Champs 6 times.
Conference Champion 4 times.
Sectional Finalist 5 times.
Sectional Champion 6 times all in his tenure with the Rebels.
On top of his basketball records and accomplishments he was also the Athletic Director impacting all of the sports at the school for 22 years.
You are cordially asked to please sign this petition to be presented in front of the South Newton School Board to rename the High School Gymnasium after Coach Michael E. Hall

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have stepped up to honor Coach Hall. We are nearing a hundred signatures so please reach out to someone you know who played for him and ask them to add their name.

Not only did coach Hall make a difference on the court, but his presence and guidance at SN were felt every day. Some of my fondest memories of high school are working directly with him. A great man, and what a wonderful tribute this would be.
I believe he is deserving of this for more than one reason, I have known him as a teacher at North Newton high school and a couch at South Newton high school,we were blessed to have him at both because of his kindness, compassion ,his love for his students for their ability to learn and so much more.
Coach Hall was a great coach, but is an even better person. He pushed me to be my best every single day, knowing I wasn’t very good at basketball, but still worked with me.
Well deserved. He has put in lots of time and effort into that place. Turned an almost no win a season team to sectional champs. I think that's well enough deserved.
Awesome Coach always a guy to look up to. Started as the Voice of the Rebels because of Coach Hall. Long overdue honor to rename the Gym. It is my honor to sign this petition. The Voice of the Rebels. Jim Link
Great friend, great person, and great Coach.
The man deserves the honor!!!

As a former basketball official I have nothing but high regard and praise for Coach Hall. Worked many games for Mike both at home and on the road. Awesome coach and a great guy. Naming the gymnasium after him is an excellent opportunity to honor an outstanding Coach/AD.
