Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools - Athletic Hall of Fame

Lincoln High School Athletic Hall of Fame

The Lincoln High School Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1985 to recognize the outstanding achievements and contributions of individuals who have been a significant part of the Lincoln High School athletic program. Each year a screening committee selects individuals for induction, with a ceremony being held at a Lincoln home football game. A permanent recognition plaque of all Hall of Fame athletes are displayed in the athletic hallway of the Lincoln High School field house.
