Hall of Fame

McNicholas Athletics has a rich history of athletes who have garnered records, received major accolades, competed above and beyond high school, and brought McNicholas successes that have been unmatched by others.

At our annual induction events, we honor at least one male and one female Rocket sports participant for their major contributions to team success, individual achievements, and major accolades that bring notoriety to our Athletic Department. Inductees into the Hall of Fame, as graduated athletes or coaches, must be at least five-years removed from representing McNicholas High School.

Celebrating 75 Years of Sports

Hall of Fame
September 25, 2025

Thank you to the 39 Hall of Fame athletes who returned to McNicholas for the Celebration of Sports. It was a great evening to be a Rocket!

In addition to recognizing participants who represented our high school in competition as athletes or coaches, we also induct honorees into the Hall of Fame on special occasions for commitment, dedication, and selflessness to McNicholas High School, including the Good Fellowship Award, which recognizes a person for outstanding support of McNicholas Athletics, and the Sr. Roberta Baumgartner Women’s Sports Award, which honors an individual who is dedicated to the development of competitive sports for women.

Nominate an athlete, coach, or athletic supporter for the McNicholas Hall of Fame.
