Ygnacio Valley High School
Athletic Hall of Fame
**Please Note**
Several members of the committee are preparing to step down.
If the Hall of Fame is going to continue we need some new blood.
Please email us at ygnaciovalleyhalloffame@gmail.com
and we can help you transition to the next dinner.
Unfortunately, if we don't have people step up, the Class of 2027 could be our last induction dinner.
Please consider joining us to continue this great tradition.

The purpose of the Ygnacio Valley High School Athletic Hall of Fame is to honor the athletes, coaches and special individuals that contributed to the athletic program at YVHS. We continue to be committed to supporting the current athletic programs and awarding scholarships to graduating athletes who have shown exemplary academic and athletic skills.
NEW Dick Ryan Stadium Sign!!
The sign was installed on September 29th.

took on the project to replace it.
It is made of metal and securely attached to the scoreboard.
