Athletic Hall of Fame

The Athletic Hall of Fame honors graduates, coaches, and supporters of Irish Athletics. Inductions are determined by a committee composed of individuals who have a vested and objective interest in Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo athletics. 

Hall of Fame celebrates individuals who have made significant contributions to the athletic programs and have brought honor and distinction to the school community

Looking to attend this year's Hall of Fame and Awards or support the event with gift?

The Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo Hall of Fame honors graduates of Gibbons Hall, St. Augustine High School, Msgr. O’Brien High School, and Msgr. (John R) Hackett Catholic Prep and their coaches, and supporters of Irish Athletics through the years. For over 30 years, the Athletic Hall of Fame has recognized the accomplishments of extraordinary student-athletes and those who have supported their athletic careers.  

New members of the Athletic Hall of Fame are inducted at the annual Homecoming and Alumni Weekend Awards Reception in the fall.  Nominations are accepted year-round. Please send nomination name and short bio that lists accomplishments to [email protected].
