Classes of the Halls of Fame.
The LAKE MICHIGAN CATHOLIC ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME COMMITTEE recognizes not just the athletes from Lake Michigan Catholic, but reaches back into our heritage and recognizes the strong athletes we had from St. John's and St. Joseph's Catholic high schools as well. In making sure that the ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME was true to representation, we have decided to have "TWO" different HALLS OF FAME. Both of the halls will be under the ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME COMMITTEE.
The first hall is called the "CATHOLIC HERITAGE ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME". This hall is specifically setup to recognize the rich tradition and history of Catholic Athletics from St. John's and St. Joseph's Catholic schools. The people from these schools weren't really part of Lake Michigan Catholic. They paved the way and did so by great example. So, to pay special tribute to the athletes from that era, we have a special section of their own called the "CATHOLIC HERITAGE ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME".
The second hall is called the "LAKE MICHIGAN CATHOLIC ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME". This was setup to recognize the great athletes we have had since Lake Michigan Catholic has existed.
If you have any nominees for future consideration, please feel free to fill out a nomination form or an information form (available below) and either send it or Email it to me.
One final note: If anyone has any old yearbooks or information (newspaper articles, etc.) and would like to donate them to the Halls of Fame, we are planning a history sub-section that will evolve on our school's website. This area is going to be more than just the people of the HALLS OF FAME, it is going to be a history tour of each decade. There will be pictures and articles scanned in, and a guided tour of our history of Catholic Athletics, as far back as we can trace it. This will be a CATHOLIC SCHOOL COMMUNITY TEAM EFFORT.
