42 North Penn Alumni Athletic Association Hall of Fame Wall of Honor A History The NPAAA was founded in the year 2000 with a mission to uphold the standards and prestige of the North Penn High School athletic program and to encourage and promote higher education through scholarship awards to those student athletes who demonstrate courage and sacrifice during their athletic careers. The NPAAA has successfully awarded 9 scholarships to outstanding senior class male and female student athlete’s year to date. In addition the NPAAA cooperates with the James K. Gulick Award sponsors who have provided 6 scholarships year to date to track and field athletes who epitomize qualities of sportsmanship, fair play and competitiveness espoused by North Penn High School Coach James K. Gulick, Sr. Please visit the KnightSite (www.npaaa.org) to see a listing of the names of the individual scholarship winners. The NPAAA expanded its mission in 2004 when a decision was made by the Board of Directors to establish a Sports Hall of Fame to recognize those alumni from North Penn High School and its legacy schools who best exemplified those high standards while participating in athletics in high school. The NPAAA is a Chapter Member of the North Penn Coordinating Council, Inc. (NPCC, Inc.) and raises funds through memberships and fundraising efforts. As a member of the NPCC, Inc. the NPAAA is a non-profit charitable organization and all donations can be claimed as a federal income tax deduction. The membership of this Association consists of any alumni/alumnae of North Penn High School, the former Hatfield High School, the former Lansdale High School, and the former North Wales High School, or other interested parties. After the NPAAA voted to initiate an athletic Hall of Fame, the Board of Directors proceeded with defining its vision. First, the NPAAA had to establish a criteria and guidelines to provide a systematic methodology for selecting inductees. Once that was established, the NPAAA established three committees: one to research, prioritize and select the inductees; a second to determine appropriate inductee awards and method of recognition; and a third to initiate a fundraising campaign to provide the monies necessary to support the NPAAA’s dual mission of scholarship awards and athletic recognition. The mission of the NPAAA is sustained by a desire to provide future generations with a historical record of the outstanding student athletes and teams representing North Penn High School and its legacy schools (Hatfield High School, Lansdale High School, and North Wales High School). This history, which provides both a source of pride and a standard to emulate, dates back to 1887 with the “Legacy Schools.” On October 8, 2005, the NPAAA hosted its Inaugural Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at North Penn High School. Fifty-two athletes (spanning eight decades) and one entire team were inducted. The ceremony was attended by several hundred people and included the enthusiastic endorsement and participation of North Penn School District Officials. A 44-page program was provided that included the history of the schools, a history of the team inducted, and profiles of the inducted athletes. An announcement was made at this event about plans to establish a Hall of Fame Wall of Honor located in North Penn High School. This initiative was presented to North Penn High School District Officials in advance and again enthusiastically approved. A fundraising campaign was initiated immediately following the Inaugural Event and by mid-August, 2006, the NPAAA has raised over eight thousand dollars. A vendor was selected to provide the raised metal plaques that will be installed in North Penn High School, and plans were finalized for the Second Annual NPAAA Hall of Fame Event. A total of 64 raised metal plaques (52 from the 2005 induction and 12 from the 2006 induction) will be installed; these plaques will honor 64 athletes, coaches, and unique individuals with close ties to North Penn sports. In addition, three team plaques will be included. This Hall of Fame Wall of Honor will be dedicated and unveiled at the Second Annual NPAAA Hall of Fame Event to be held this October 14, 2006 at 7:00 PM at North Penn High School. This year twelve additional athletes and two teams will be enshrined, again representing eight decades. This Event is free and open to the public.
