Wenatchee High School has one of the oldest, most illustrious prep athletic traditions in the state of Washington. It began back on the gridiron in 1905 against Leavenworth and Broadway High Schools. Since then, thousands of student athletes have proudly worn the "purple and gold," guided by hundreds of dedicated coaches. The Wenatchee High School Athletic Hall of Fame was established to recognize exceptional achievements by Panther athletes, coaches and administrators. Images of Hall of Fame members (as they appeared while involved in WHS athletics) and a brief synopsis of accomplishments, are permanently displayed on the "Wall of Fame" across from the athletic office.
