Appleton West
Hall of Fame
 

In the fall of 1998, a committee made up of West alumni, teachers, and
administrators came together and created the Appleton West Hall of Fame.  The Hall of Fame was established to honor outstanding alumni who, through their achievements, have brought honor to themselves, to their school, and to their community. 
The purpose of the Hall of Fame is threefold.

  1. First, to recognize and honor individuals from Hercules School, Ryan School, Appleton High School, or West High School.
  2. Second, to establish in the hearts of our youth a motivating influence to excel in their future endeavors.
  3. Third, through the example of the inductees, to foster pride, leadership, character, scholarship, and service. 
   
Below are short biographies on our members, which were written by students from the Appleton West Legends Club.

  We have over 40,000 alumni representing the Hercules School, Ryan School, Appleton High School, and Appleton West.  We have 39 members in our Hall of Fame, and add between two and four new members annually.  When you consider the quantity and quality of our alumni base, it is quite an honor.
