Athletic Hall of Fame
Throughout the years, the successful complement of athletics to the WA academic curricula has engaged countless athletes who have continued to incorporate athletics into their lives as Washington Academy graduates. It is often said that many of the core values of athletic competition shape important lifelong character traits such as the ability to be a good teammate, strong individual commitment, and the desire to strive for excellence. All of these qualities define the Hall's founding initiatives and inductees. Washington Academy feels that our Athletic Hall of Fame is an ideal way to recognize our athletes for the highest standards of athletic sportsmanship, ethical conduct, character, and their significant contribution to Raider athletics.
WA inducted its third class into the Raider Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2023. This induction represented athletes from many sports spanning the years from 1960 to 2011.
