The hallway of Malad High School is the current location of plaques commemorating the inductees to the Oneida County Hall of Fame. A tour of those who have been so honored demonstrates a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and reasons for inclusion in the hall celebrating those who have been major contributors to what makes Oneida, Oneida.
