Keeping Our Promise

Keeping Our Promise

It is our desire and promise to earn your continued support,
to grow and improve with each year’s events and to fulfill our
objectives and purpose as a nonprofit volunteer organization.

Since November of 2006, Forty-two (42) Hall of Fame inductees
have been named representing the categories of educators,
community members and alumni. Each member receives
an elegant zenith award and a CD copy of the induction
ceremony and evenings events.

The John Kirchenbauer Sports Complex dedication
was held in October of 2007 and was hosted by the
Holtville Unified School District and the Hall of Fame Committee.
The complex is home to the Holtville High School
Hall of Fame display cases, the Viking Wall of Pride,
the Viking Spirit Courtyard and the Alumni Walk of Honor.

Resources were provided, as requested for:
signage of the newly modernized and air conditioned
Sports Complex, league and CIF Championship
banners for display, portable volleyball standards and
equipment for the newly constructed wrestling and
state-of-the-art weight rooms.

Perpetual plagues display the names, category and
year each the Hall of Fame member was inducted; and all scholarship/educator stipends are named on a separate plaque.

All participants in the John A. Kirchenbauer
Memorial Golf Tournament have been presented with
commemorative watches and/or embroidered valuable bags.

As of May of 2011, a total of eighteen (18) $500 scholarships
and/or educator stipends will have been awarded to
current and continuing students representing the
educational disciplines, music and art.

Funding for an Academic Wall of Honor has been
approved by the Hall of Fame committee which will display
top ACT and SAT II scores students have achieved.

Engraving of all Sponsor and Alumni brick pavers
for the Viking Spirit Courtyard and Alumni Walk of
Honor are complete and are displayed as orders are received.

The inaugural Hall of Fame Sports Academies
(baseball, softball, football and volleyball) have hosted more than 200 boys and
girls age 9 to 14 from all cities in the Valley, and were
sponsored by the Hall of Fame.

All former CIF Championship team members
will be invited, on an annual basis, to attend the
Hall of Fame Ball where they will be presented with a
“Championship ring” representing their sport.
