It's Official!

The Portland Interscholastic League Hall of Fame added 36 former Portland high school sports standouts and two distinguished service award recipients during our 2026 induction banquet, Sunday, Nov. 8.

This is the 37th class to be inducted into the PIL Hall of Fame, which was founded in 1981.

This year's banquet, held at the Lloyd Center DoubleTree, was sponsored by the Denny Sullivan Foundation, one of dozens of sponsors and donors who contribute to the PIL Hall of Fame’s mission of supporting sports opportunities for public school students in Portland.

Congratulations to our Class of 2026 inductees. Click on their names for bios, personal commentaries and photos.
