Athletic Walk of Fame
Established in 2009, the Morgan Park Academy Athletic Walk of Fame is a cooperative effort between the Athletics Department and the Department of Advancement and Alumni Affairs. The goal of the Athletic Walk of Fame is twofold:
- To recognize and honor individual athletes, teams, and other members of the Morgan Park Academy, Morgan Park Military Academy, and the Loring School for Girls communities who have represented the Academy through athletic excellence
- To instill pride and spirit in alumni, in the athletic program, and the Academy.
Honorees are inducted each fall during Homecoming Weekend.
