Aquinas Institute Past Inductees
The Aquinas Sports Booster Club and the Aquinas Alumni Association inaugurated a HALL OF FAME at the school to formally recognize those persons who have made substantial contributions to the spirit and tradition of Aquinas Institute. This prestigious award is given each year at the Hall of Fame ceremony. Any Aquinas alumnus, faculty member, coach, or any friend of the school, who over the years has represented what Aquinas stands for, is eligible for membership in the HALL OF FAME. A plaque is displayed for each inductee and placed in the HALL OF FAME display located in the President’s Office hallway.
