OVERVIEW AND PHILOSOPHY

​

Saint Joseph High School honors outstanding student-athletes, coaches, teams, athletics administrators, and significant contributors to its sports programs with membership to the high school’s prestigious Athletics Hall of Fame. Student-athlete inductees must be Saint Joseph graduates, must have lettered in a varsity sport, must have attended Saint Joseph High School for at least three years, and must possess a record of high performance and excellence. Coaches, athletics administrators, and people who have significantly contributed to the advancement of interscholastic sports at Saint Joseph High School may also be nominated for membership. Inductees bring recognition, acclaim, and pride to the Brothers of the Sacred Heart and Saint Joseph High School. Their record of sportsmanship and lifestyle of integrity and probity makes them role models for current and future Saint Joseph High School student-athletes. The 2023 Hall of Fame Class will be selected in April 2023 and feted in the fall of that year during an induction ceremony at the Metuchen Golf and Country Club.
