Members and inductees are individuals and families who have made a lasting impact on Catholic athletics in the Louisville area. They include standout athletes, dedicated coaches, influential athletic administrators, and devoted contributors whose excellence and commitment have shaped local sports culture.
Whether through championship wins, decades of service, or extraordinary support behind the scenes, each member has left a meaningful mark at the grade school, high school, or collegiate level within the Catholic school system.
Members are selected through a thoughtful process led by our nominating committee, which reviews external suggestions, maintains a running list of potential candidates, and considers recommendations from within the committee. Every nominee undergoes a comprehensive evaluation before a final vote is conducted to determine each year’s class.
