Athletic Hall of Fame Members

Welcome to the Damien High School Athletic Hall of Fame!

 

The purpose of the Damien High School Athletic Hall of Fame is to recognize and honor those Spartan athletes, coaches, administrators and supporters who excelled in their respective sports or coaching/support roles and who helped to bring honor, recognition, distinction and excellence to Damien High School by their conduct both on and off the field, or court, of competition.

 

This recognition will help maintain the spirit, pride and sense of community as well as serving as a historical account of the great athletic traditions of Damien High School.
