Watervliet Athletic Hall of Fame

The Watervliet High School Athletic Hall of Fame was started in 2007, and inducted its first class in October 2008. Individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the Cannoneer athletic program and, in some cases, at both the college and professional levels through their participation as athletes, coaches or administrators are inducted annually at an Induction Dinner as part of the Homecoming Weekend every fall.

If you have any questions about the Hall of Fame, please email the Hall of Fame Committee: vliethalloffame@yahoo.com or call the Athletic Office at 518-629-3303.
