Grades 5-12: Pro Football Hall of Fame & Andre Tippett

Friday, May 7 - offered at 10:00 and 12:00
Heart of a Hall of Famer Series featuring Andre Tippett, Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker
Come learn about what character qualities it took for Class of 2008 Enshrinee Andre Tippett to make it into his sport's most exclusive club - the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tippett will be our featured speaker on Friday May 7 at 10:00 AM and again at 12:00 noon ET. Students will have the opportunity to learn first-hand what it took beyond athletics for this gridiron legend to achieve greatness and how his character qualities helped him achieve great success on and off the football field.
The program will last approximately 50 minutes with a majority of that time being driven by questions from the student participants. This program is designed for grades 7th-12th. Each videoconference is limited to five sites and the cost is $75 per site. Interested schools will be selected on a first come basis. Test connections will take place the week of the broadcast. Special thanks to Boston College High School in Boston, MA for helping to make this connection possible.
