We are pleased to announce the newest members of the Unatego Hall of Distinction. The Unatego Hall of Distinction honors graduates of Unatego, or from the previous districts of Unadilla Central and Otego Central, who have distinguished themselves through recognition, honor, and distinction during their lives.

This year’s inductees include a member of the Unatego class of 1971 and a 1979 Unatego grad.  

Bob Zaveral, Class of 1971, was a three sport athlete at Unatego and still in high school when he completed the General Clinton 70 Mile Canoe Regatta, a feat he would repeat forty more times. As a competitor in international competition, he excelled as one of the best paddlers in the world.  His love for canoeing led to his opening a business to make custom canoe paddles and quickly became a premier supplier of equipment to elite athletes. He is currently the owner of ZRE in Wells Bridge.

Dr. Edwin Acosta, a 1979 Unatego grad, knew early in life that he wanted to be a physician. After medical school and completion of his internships and residency, Dr. Acosta specialized in radiology and nuclear medicine, and today serves as Chief of Radiology, Interventional Radiology, and Nuclear Medicine at Arnot-Ogden Medical Center in Elmira, NY.  He also is the President of Associated Radiologists of the Finger Lakes. 

Congratulations to our newest inductees into the Unatego Hall of Distinction.
