Athletic Hall of Fame

Kenwood Athletics Hall of Fame

Athletic Hall of Fame


KAHOF honors those individuals who have excelled in leadership and playing sports while being in good standing during their time at Kenwood High School. Also being honored are those individuals who have further served and supported Kenwood Athletic Programs.

For years Kenwood High School never had an enshrinement for recognizing its outstanding athletes and their accomplishments.

In 2007 former coaches Lefty Elliott and Carroll Hess discussed the idea of Kenwood High School having its own Athletics Hall of Fame. That idea was then presented to Derek Maki the Athletic Director at Kenwood High School for 13 years (2001-2014).

A committee was formed to elect those worthy individuals to be honored by their induction into the Hall of Fame. Through the 2022 elections, well over 150 deserving inductees have been enshrined into this prestigious Athletics Hall of Fame.

Each inductee receives a lapel pin, a membership card that allows them free admission to all Kenwood sponsored sporting events, their year of graduation and lists the sports they participated and/or their contribution to Kenwood’s sports programs. Finally their year of induction is listed.
