Meet the PIL Hall of Fame Class of 2025
Hall of Fame Members of the Month
Thirty-six former Portland high school sports stars were inducted into the Portland Interscholastic League Hall of Fame Sunday,Nov. 2, during our 2025 induction banquet. That number is especially appropriate this year since this is our 36th class to be inductees.
Twenty-five men and 11 women were recognized at this year’s banquet. Thirty-five of them were athletic standouts in high school and one — Scott Aker — was inducted for his standout coaching career at multiple Portland schools.
Here’s the complete list of 2025 inductees. Follow the links for their complete bios, personal commentaries and photos.
