🏆💙 CELEBRATING OUR 2025 & 2026 EHS ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES 💙🏆
This Friday night will be a special one at Arrow Lumber Stadium!
During halftime of the 7:00 PM Cruiser football game against Black Hills, we will recognize SIX outstanding individuals as members of the Eatonville High School Athletic Hall of Fame.
Due to construction last year, we were unable to formally recognize our 2025 inductees, so this Friday we will proudly honor both our 2025 and 2026 classes!
