Lansing Catholic Athletic Hall of Fame

Founded in 1996 with the inaugural class, the Lansing Catholic High School (LCHS) Athletic Hall of Fame is back, inducting our next class in the fall of 2023. The Hall of Fame will recognize individuals and teams for exemplary accomplishments, contributions, and service to Lansing Catholic High School Athletics. For each class of inductees, the Hall of Fame will include nominations from our “Heritage Schools”: St. Mary’s High School, Resurrection, Gabriels, and O’Rafferty. Graduates from Lansing Catholic (Central) High School and our above Heritage Schools are encouraged to apply for the LCHS Athletic Hall of Fame.
