The St. Marys High School Athletic Hall of Fame honors outstanding athletes and others who, through their athletic achievements, have brought honor to themselves, St. Marys High School, and their community.

The purpose of the Hall of Fame is threefold. First, it recognizes and honors the exceptional athletes who have brought honor to St. Marys. Second, it serves to motivate our youth to excel in athletics and academics. Third, it fosters pride in our school and community.

The St. Marys High School Hall of Fame is committed to recognizing those individuals who have been influential to the continued excellence of the traditions in athletics at St. Marys High School. Many great athletes have developed these traditions, and the Hall of Fame is intended to honor those who have reached the highest level of excellence while in high school, especially those that have excelled at either the collegiate or professional level. Hall of Fame inductees will exemplify a degree of separation from the great to the truly exceptional.

The St. Marys High School Hall of Fame committee will induct those individuals who through their dedication and achievements have brought outstanding recognition to themselves and St. Marys High School. Nominees for membership in the Hall of Fame shall be graduates of St. Marys High School or personnel who meet these requirements.
