Honoring Excellence: Celebrating Easthampton's Athletic Legacy!

Established in 2019, the Easthampton High School Athletic Foundation and Hall of Fame Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. With the support and collaboration of the Easthampton Public Schools, our foundation was created to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the Easthampton High School interscholastic program. Our mission is to advance the educational objectives of the Easthampton Public Schools and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association across academics, athletics, service, and co-curricular activities. We will achieve this by commemorating the achievements of our diverse community, including current and former student athletes, coaches, teams, and supporters.

Navigating The Phases Of Easthampton High School's Hall Of Fame Journey

Phase One

Our project aims to emphasize recognition. Alongside the Hall of Fame ceremony honoring past contributions to interscholastic athletics, we will regularly acknowledge the achievements of our current athletes, both individually and as teams.

Phase Two

Furthermore, our project seeks to bolster financial support for our athletic programs. Collaborating with the Administration, Athletic Director, and booster clubs, we will organize fundraising initiatives to better fulfill the needs and desires of our student athletes, their teams, and coaches.

Phase Three

Additionally, we will integrate a service component into our athletic programs. By partnering with the school department and the wider community, we will provide opportunities for our student athletes to express gratitude by giving back to the community.

The Board Of Directors

The Easthampton High School Athletic Foundation and Hall of Fame is overseen by a dedicated Board of Directors. Meeting periodically (currently three times per year), the board sets policies and offers guidance for the organization. Directors also lead various working committees, coordinating efforts to plan events, fundraising activities, and outreach initiatives, as well as managing membership and nominations.
