Hall of Fame

Acknowledging the Contributions & Accomplishments

Christopher Columbus High School hosts an annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Appreciation Dinner.

This event is dear to the Marist Brothers, administration and faculty because it is our chance to honor those among the Columbus family for their outstanding achievements and for their steadfast dedication to our school.

The Hall of Fame acknowledges the contributions and accomplishments of the individuals who are worthy of recognition and examples for other to emulate.
 
On behalf of the Marist Brothers, our students, faculty and administration we thank you.
