Dr. Conyers, who recently announcement his retirement from District 15 effective at the end of the current school year, has been superintendent in the district since 1985.
He will be inducted into the OSU College of Education Hall of Fame at a ceremony at the university in Stillwater, Oklahoma, next spring. A permanent plaque on display in the College of Education will honor Dr. Conyers and other Hall of Fame recipients.
