Catholic Schools of Memphis Unveils Inaugural High School Hall of Fame Class

Catholic Schools of Memphis has named 21 alumni to the first class of its unified High School Hall of Fame. The honorees were selected to recognize their contributions and the legacy of Catholic education throughout West Tennessee.

The Hall of Fame was formed in March 2026 to combine the traditions of 11 Catholic high schools within the Diocese of Memphis. While individual schools previously maintained their own separate halls of fame, this marks the first time the diocese has selected a unified group of honorees.

Mike Clary, chair of the 2026 selection committee, noted that the inaugural class reflects the accomplishments of graduates who have impacted their communities. Dr. Chris Fay, president of Catholic Schools of Memphis, said the unified hall of fame connects generations of graduates and preserves the shared heritage of the diocese's high schools.
