South Pasadena High School
Athletic Hall of Fame
The South Pasadena High School Athletic Hall of Fame display is back on view in the Boys' Gym, freshly refurbished. Greg Gerhart '60 restored the wood frames and glass, and Irene Reid '60 crafted and engraved the new name plates. Irene owns an engraving company called "Hooray - The Engraving Shoppe" in St. George, Utah.
The SPHS Booster Club funded the materials, and Greg and Irene donated their time and skills to complete the project. The result is a beautiful display, easily seen just inside the gym's front door — stop by and take a look next time you're in town.
On behalf of all alumni, the South Pasadena High School Alumni Association thanks Greg and Irene for this gift to the school.
Many of you have asked for the names on the display, so we're publishing the full list below.
The Coaches list includes only those who coached at SPHS (some are also alumni). Athletics is the only path by which alumni themselves can enter the Hall of Fame; coaches are recognized separately, in the "out of high school" category.
