“It was an honor to welcome our 2025 Hall of Fame inductees back to campus and celebrate their remarkable athletic achievements and enduring dedication to Saint Francis,” said Michael Pilawski, Vice Principal of Campus Life. “Each of these individuals exemplifies the spirit and leadership that define what it means to be a Lancer.”

Following the dinner and induction ceremony, the celebration continued at Ron Calcagno Stadium, where the inductees were introduced to the crowd during the varsity football game against Saint Ignatius.

Each Hall of Fame video shared during the event tells the unique story of our inductees including their accomplishments, character and impact they continue to bring to the Saint Francis community. These videos are available to view online at sfhs.com/saint-francis-hall-of-fame.

The Saint Francis High School Hall of Fame exists not only to honor athletic excellence but also to celebrate the legacy of character and leadership that enriches the school’s tradition.
