Athletic Hall of Fame 2026
The Peoria High School Alumni Association hosted the Athletic Hall of Fame on April 25, 2026 in the foyer at PHS. It was a great event with many of the inductees coming back to take part. Approximately 130 people attended the event where 14 individuals and one 4 x 400 Relay team were inducted.
Kirk Wessler '73 was our emcee for the event and did a fantastic job with the history and background of the athletes being inducted. A little story telling and some fun was had by all. The conversations with all of our inductees and family was truly inspiring. The stories flowed and the connection to this great school was once again renewed.
​
A few of our inductees were unable to make the event but we still read their induction citation and celebrated their accomplishments.

This year we were able to use the PHS video class to interview and record the event. We hope to get a product out on a YouTube channel for all to watch. Thank you to all!
The Alumni Association is excited to give a heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful coaches, families, and friends who helped make event a spectacular celebration for our outstanding athletes! It was truly a joy to see all the families in attendance—your support makes Peoria High School a beloved cornerstone of our community! We can't wait to come back soon with even more deserving athletes.
If you have an athlete or team to nominate for review and selection, please provide as much detailed verifiable information as possible. Let’s keep the enthusiasm going!
