CPS Celebrates Rich Athletic Heritage
Cincinnati Public Schools' Athletic Hall of Fame perpetuates the memory of the exceptional scholar-athletes and coaches who brought honor to our schools over the years and who serve now as role models for present and future generations.
CPS and the Activities Beyond the Classroom (ABC) commemorate the heritage, spirit and significance of interscholastic sports, and the coaches and athletes who have contributed to the athletic programs at CPS' high schools. Their contributions have maintained pride in the community's athletic traditions and inspired others through outstanding athletic achievements.
Nominations are open to all male and female athletes and coaches, living or deceased, who have distinguished themselves in interscholastic athletic competition as part of a Cincinnati Public Schools high school team. Induction is based solely upon high school athletic accomplishments in sports officially recognized by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Nominees must have demonstrated good citizenship while in high school and after leaving high school. All nominees (except coaches) must be out of high school for at least 10 years.
