Our athletic program plays an important role in the overall

education and experience at St. Paul VI Catholic High

School. We see our sports teams as an extension of the

school’s mission; to develop student-athletes spiritually,

intellectually, physically, and socially.

We strive to run a college-preparatory athletic program so

that our student-athletes, who are able to combine the

right amount of ability and desire, can compete at the

next level as a result of their Paul VI athletic experience.

Our mission extends beyond the playing fields. PVI

students develop the life skills needed to transition to

college, careers, and become productive members of

society, all grounded in the teachings of St. Francis

deSales and Gospel values.

Our Hall of Fame members and inductees exemplify what

Paul VI is all about and inspire our students to do the

same. Your accomplishments, stories, and the legacy you

have left for our future Panthers are a gift to our PVI

community. Thank you for your commitment to your sport,

your teams, and St. Paul VI Catholic High School.

Congratulations to our new inductees. It is an honor to

welcome you into the Paul VI Athletic Hall of Fame.
