Ridgerunner Hall of Fame Press Release

The Grove Athletic Hall of Fame Committee is delighted to announce the inception of the Grove School District Athletic Hall of Fame. This esteemed institution is dedicated to celebrating the illustrious athletic legacy of our district and paying tribute to the remarkable accomplishments of our former and current student-athletes as well as coaches from both past and present eras. The Grove School District, which was founded in 1904, has been instrumental in providing quality education to the city's youth for more than a century.

Our goal is to uphold the tradition of athletic excellence in the Grove School District and foster lasting relationships among alumni, both with the district and with one another. We aim to unite athletes from across the decades who share a commitment to skill, determination, and excellence. For the very first time, we will be honoring and celebrating the coaches and athletes who have contributed to our legacy from its earliest days to the present. Our district-wide homecoming festivities in the fall of 2024 will feature a Banquet and Induction Ceremony, where we will recognize and pay tribute to the original members of the Athletic Hall of Fame alongside the Class of 2024. These remarkable individuals have made an enduring impact on our district's sporting history and serve as a source of pride and inspiration for future generations. We hope that inductees, their loved ones, and guests will join us for this unforgettable occasion. Grove Athletic Hall of Fame Committee will take community nominations starting May 6th through June 10th for the Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
