The Clear Creek Independent School District and the Athletic Hall of Honor Board of Directors recently announced the 2019 class of inductees to the prestigious Hall of Honor. The 2019 class includes four legendary coaches, five outstanding athletes and two winning teams.
The 2019 class was chosen through an extensive nomination and selection process for bringing distinction, honor and excellence to themselves, their alma mater schools and community. The Athletic Hall of Honor was established in 2016 and each year encompasses athletes of a specific era, folding in CCISD high schools as they were formed. For the current 2019 nomination and award window, the nominee had to be a coach or graduate of Webster High School, Clear Creek High School or Clear Lake High School between the years of 1948 and 1987.
“The CCISD Athletic Hall of Honor has already evolved into a cherished tradition as a meaningful way to recognize our exceptional alumni and preserve our District’s great history in athletics,” said Bill Daws, Athletic Hall of Honor Board President and former CCISD Director of Athletics. “We look forward to recognizing this fine group of alumni and coaches on October 26 of this year – and etching their names in history.”
