Athletic Hall of Fame

As we look back at 2022-2023 as a memorable and historical year at Washington Academy, celebrating 230 years since the establishment of the Academy, and the 200th birthday of the Academy Building (or the OA), WA is pleased to announce the Class of 2023 Athletic Hall of Fame inductees. This will be the third class to be inducted, and represents athletes across many sports from 1960 to 2011.

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, as well as its inductees.
