When the Coach Jim Haluska Wall of Champions was dedicated in September 2015, his dedication set us on a journey to recognize the truly outstanding teams from our school’s history. We also look back at the excellent performances of individual athletes throughout their high school careers. We will move through these outstanding teams and individuals chronologically, and we are proud to welcome them to the Wall of Champions and Athletic Hall of Fame.
The Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes the accomplishments of outstanding athletes and coaches during their careers at STM and its predecessor schools. Members are State and Conference champions, school record-holders, and legendary coaches. New members are inducted each year.
