Athletic Hall of Fame

In 2002, Collegiate established an Athletic Hall of Fame to honor those individuals who, through fair play, brought recognition, honors, distinction, and excellence to the School and its interscholastic athletic programs during their time at Collegiate. Since then, the Alumni Association has inducted four classes of individuals, coaches, and teams into the Athletic Hall of Fame.
