Welcome!

To the 2o23 athletic hall of fame induction ceremony, Sunday, July 23, 2023

With its opening in 1928, its re-founding in 1980, and the inception of the international program in 2011, John Bapst High School has evolved. In addition to its outstanding academics through the years, there has been another constant: the school’s athletic program. From the time inaugural Athletic Director Norbert Dowd gave the school its purple and white colors and Crusader mascot until today, a proud athletic tradition has grown and flourished, and it is celebrated through the John Bapst Athletic Hall of Fame. Since 1972, inductees have spanned every decade of the school’s history; they made their mark as student-athletes in a wide range of sports and they have helped to write the history of a school known by its motto of Achievement | Integrity | Respect and by the traditions of academic excellence, community, and school spirit that have made John Bapst one of New England’s top high schools.

For their achievements as student-athletes and their place in the history of the school, we honor and celebrate all members of the John Bapst Athletic Hall of Fame. Go Crusaders!
