In 2007, the Falcon Foundation launched the College Park Hall of Fame. The HOF strives to preserve history by recognizing those individuals whose achievements and efforts have exemplified the high standards of College Park athletics. In addition we celebrate those who have made a significant contribution to the Falcon's legacy on and off the field of play and promoted our values of Courage, Pride, Honor and Sacrifice. These words were true in 1960 and remain true to this day.

THE HOF SELECTION COMMITTEE

The committee is comprised of a diverse group of volunteers who represent the generations of College Park athletics from the schools inception in 1960 to the present. Collectively they comprise an institutional memory of over 6 decades of athletes and athletic endeavors. They are made up of former College Park athletes, teachers, and athletic directors. They meet several times per year to consider various candidates proposed by the committee as well as other interested individuals.
