AACS Athletic Hall of Fame
Founded in 2010, the Annapolis Area Christian School Athletic Hall of Fame was established to pay tribute to those individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the quality and tradition of AACS athletics. The example the Hall of Fame members demonstrate is an encouragement and a challenge to those both outside and within the school. While not exclusive, the following attributes will be principal factors in selecting someone into the Hall of fame: Christian character, recognized athletic excellence, leadership and commitment.
Any member of the AACS family may submit a nomination for individuals who meet the eligibility criteria. We hope you will reflect deeply on the athletes and coaches who have shaped AACS athletics.
