Athletic Hall of Fame

Stratford Athletic Hall of Fame

Formally established in 2010, the Stratford Athletic Hall of Fame strives to maintain the rich heritage and tradition of the successful athletic programs of Stratford Academy. It serves as a means of recognizing, preserving and honoring the athletes, coaches, teams and individuals who have made significant contributions to the school’s athletic programs. The Hall of Fame honors the contributions and accomplishments of these individuals and teams who are worthy of recognition and serve as examples for others to emulate.

Stratford Academy will induct the following individuals into its Athletic Hall of Fame: Laura Voss and Sylvia Haynie (supporters) and Danny Skinner '75 (athlete). The 2018 class of inductees will be honored at an all-school assembly on October 19th during Alumni Weekend 2018. Honorees will also be recognized during halftime of the homecoming football game that evening.
