• Pocono Mountain East

    Athletic Hall of Fame

    Nomination Information

    Outstanding athletes, coaches and special, involved individuals are an inspiration and a source of pride to youngsters, students and adults throughout the school district and community. Unfortunately, the school district employs no sports historian and Cardinal sports greats and special individuals may be forgotten all too soon.

    In 2004, the Pocono Mountain East All-Sports Booster Club initiated the Pocono Mountain Cardinal Athletic Hall of Fame to recognize those truly outstanding individuals who are deserving of being selected in the Pocono Mountain Athletic Hall of Fame based upon their achievements in athletics, coaching or support of PM Cardinal athletics.

    Selection to the Pocono Mountain Cardinal Athletic Hall of Fame depends upon accurate and complete information provided by friends, family members or even the nominee themselves. Newspaper files, family scrapbooks, and written personal anecdotes should be supplied so that the committee members, who may not personally recall the nominee, can make appropriate selections. Please refer to the Hall of Fame eligibility criteria below for a student athlete, coach or other individual from Pocono Mountain School District Swiftwater campus as a Cardinal.
