The Churchville-Chili Athletic Hall of Fame was created in 2016 to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of outstanding athletes, coaches, administrators, and anyone who made a significant contribution to Saints athletics; reconnect or maintain a relationship with inductees and their families with Churchville-Chili Central School; and to enhance the current student and athlete understanding and appreciation for the history of Saints athletics and provide role models for them to aspire to.
