The Hall of Fame is organized for the purpose of recognizing the rich tradition of success academically, athletically and spiritually, in service to our community. The Hall of Fame serves as a means of honoring alumni by recognizing the milestones and historic moments achieved by those individuals and teams throughout Walther’s history, honoring coaches who made a significant impact on the student-athletes here at Walther, and acknowledging the contributions of supporters of Bronco athletics over the years. The Walther Hall of Fame honors the contributions and accomplishments of these individuals and teams who are worthy of recognition as examples of Walther’s rich athletic history.
