The SHS Athletic Hall of Fame was started by Mike Gaudreau, SHS Principal in Honor of Jim "Doc" Terwilleger, to recognize coaches of SHS that had given significantly of themselves to the high school. 

It was then expanded by Coach Mike Kintz to a true Athletic Hall of Fame that includes athletes, teams and contributors.
