“The Warrior Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2024 is impressive and deserving! From each of the athletes to those being honored for special achievement, Carpinteria High School is excited to continue its rich tradition by honoring each of the Hall of Famers new and old,” states Pat Cooney, CHS Athletic Director.
“The Warrior Community will make 13 deserved inductions to its Hall of Fame while simultaneously and appropriately celebrating the 25th anniversary of the opening of Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium on Memorial Day weekend.”
The 2024 Hall of Fame event coincides with the 25th anniversary of the construction of Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium on the CHS campus.
Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium was built in 1999 through a community fundraising effort in partnership with Carpinteria Unified School District to provide a comprehensive on-campus athletic facility for the High School that would be open and available to the entire Carpinteria community.
The stadium is dedicated to the men and women who have given their lives for our country and recognizes the fallen servicemen from Carpinteria High School. For more information on the history of the stadium, visit:
