The Central Catholic Hall of Fame was established to recognize and honor alumni who exemplify the values of scholarship, leadership, service and character in the Central Catholic High School tradition. In 79 years of Central Catholic history, more than 20,000 men have graduated from the school and have assumed their roles as Christian gentlemen, leaders, family men, and good citizens of the community.
Members of the Hall of Fame have remained loyal and staunch supporters of the school, realizing that the foundation received at Central Catholic was instrumental in helping them achieve success and fulfillment.
As of the year 2006, 79 alumni have been inducted into the Hall of Fame for achievements in varied fields: medicine, religious vocation, service to the government, education, legal profession, journalism, building trades, real estate, athletic achievement, and achievement in finance.
No matter what their profession, these 79 men have been honored for their achievements, their character and integrity, and their lives of service to others.
