Honoring Excellence
The Champagnat Awards & Athletic Hall of Fame
These awards honor the achievements of a select group of alumni, friends, and community members whose lives, acts of kindness, and contributions to Central Catholic and the wider world fully represent the best traditions of CCHS.
The Champagnat Awards
Saint Marcellin Champagnat, founder of the Marist Brothers, urged his Marist followers to live their lives “doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.”
The Champagnat Awards honor Alumni and Members of the Central Catholic community whose lives reflect extraordinary faith, service to the least favored, professional achievement, and dedication to our Marist mission. Their lives inspire us every day.
We celebrated the 2025 Honorees at Honoring Excellence: The Champagnat Awards & Athletic Hall of Fame Dinner on Saturday, May 17, 2025.
The Athletic Hall of Fame
The Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes those individuals who distinguished themselves on the Raider playing fields or in endeavors associated with Raider athletics.
Inaugurated in 1981, the Athletic Hall of Fame has 151 inductees and strives to honor individuals for “excellence in the ranks of those who wore the Central Catholic Red and Blue.”
Members of the 14th Induction Class were inducted at Honoring Excellence: The Champagnat Awards & Athletic Hall of Fame Dinner on Saturday, May 17, 2025.
We are excited to announce and recognize our 2025 Champagnat Award Recipients and Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees!
