Adrian E. Allison, chief relationship officer at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, is a proud graduate of the Canton City School District. He would later become the youngest superintendent and the first African American to serve in that role.
Allison, 54, and his family now reside in Jackson Township. He has been married for 28 years to his college sweetheart, Krista. They have two daughters, both of whom are McKinley High School and The Ohio State University graduates: Averi (who also earned her master's degree from Carnegie Mellon University) and Anastasia.
He graduated from Baldwin-Wallace University and then followed his girlfriend (now his wife) to law school at Case Western Reserve University. Allison began his career as an Ohio ******* istant attorney general, then served as an executive at the Ohio Department of Education and eventually joined the Canton City School District before becoming superintendent in 2013. He joined the Hall of Fame in 2019.
"No matter where I travel in this country, I proudly wear Hall of Fame apparel," Allison said. "In every community I visit, people immediately recognize the iconic logo and know exactly where it belongs: Canton, Ohio. That recognition is something I never take for granted. I am honored to be ******* ociated with an institution that has become synonymous with excellence. And the link to Stark County can never be separated.
"Working for the Hall is especially meaningful because I have the privilege of representing our community, my community, which has embraced and sustained the Hall for more than six decades."
