Alumni

Athletics Hall of Fame

Mission Statement

The Edmund Burke School Athletics Hall of Fame honors athletes, coaches, and teams whose lasting contributions have shaped our community. These individuals not only excelled in their sports, but also embodied the values at the heart of Burke’s mission—bringing together people who are different from one another, rising to high expectations, taking power and responsibility, and growing into skilled and independent thinkers. Through their dedication, teamwork, and resilience, they stepped forward to make positive contributions to their teams, their school, and the world in which they live.

The Hall of Fame connects our past and present by highlighting the role athletics plays in building a culture of teamwork, hard work, commitment, and respect. It reminds us that true success isn't just measured in wins, but in the strength of character, collaboration, and the positive difference we make through sport and in life.
