Hudson Distinguished alumni and athletic Hall of Fame
The Hudson Hall of Fame (HOF) began in 2012 with the first Athletic Class. Previously the Alumni Association had recognized graduates who were brought into the new HOF with the first Athletic and Distinguished Classes.
The Distinguished Award is based on their careers after graduation. The Athletic HOF is based on their Hudson High School accomplishments. Many went onto outstanding achievements in college and some in professional sports. The HOF recognition ceremony rotates these two areas bi-annually.
The Hudson City Schools Foundation is proud to support and recognize the accomplishments of our Explorer Alumni through the Distinguished Hall of Fame and Athletic Hall of Fame.
Additional tickets can be purchased for friends, family members and community members who want to be a part of the Hall of Fame ceremony. Adults: $20/each, Children 3-12: $11/each, Children 2 and younger: Free
