Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School celebrated its 2025 Hall of Fame induction on Fri., Oct. 24, at the Haverhill Country Club.
The school’s Athletic Hall of Fame, launched in 2023, was created to recognize outstanding contributions to Whittier Tech’s athletics program and to honor individuals and teams who have made a lasting impact on the school’s proud athletic tradition.
This year’s inductees included athletes, coaches, teams, and community members who have demonstrated exceptional skill, leadership, and dedication to Whittier Tech athletics.
“This event reflects the commitment, talent, and leadership of these inductees,” said Whittier Tech Athletic Director and Hall of Fame Selection Committee President Kevin Bradley. “Each one has helped shape our school’s tradition of athletic achievement and community. Their success serves as an inspiration to future student-athletes to strive for excellence, lead with integrity, and take pride in representing Whittier Tech.”
