Hall of Fame

The Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) Hall of Fame was organized as a means of recognizing, preserving, and promoting the heritage of interscholastic sports in Western Pennsylvania. Many individuals have made extraordinary contributions and have achieved superb accomplishments in high school sports. The WPIAL Hall of Fame honors the contributions and accomplishments of these individuals and teams who are worthy of recognition as examples for others to emulate.

WPIAL Hall of Fame classes consist of inductees from seven different categories: Athlete, Coach, Team, Heritage, Official, Contributor, and Courage. Below you will find each year’s class and the inductees’ biographies, as well as the Hall of Fame members by category.

WPIAL member schools, WPIAL Hall of Fame Committee members, and members of a WPIAL Steering Committee may nominate individuals or teams from each category. Each WPIAL Officials' Chapter may nominate one contest official or coach from those categories. The WPIAL Board of Directors may nominate one person who has made an outstanding contribution to the WPIAL and interscholastic athletics. 

There was no Class of 2020 inducted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
