TZ Athletic Hall of Fame

The Tappan Zee Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 2009 to honor distinguished Tappan Zee High School athletes, coaches and teams. Community service contributions are also occasionally recognized.

The Hall of Fame Committee accepts nominations on a rolling basis, with a submission deadline of March 1. An athlete or team may be nominated ten (10) years after graduation. A coach must have coached a Tappan Zee team for a minimum of five (5) years and may not be considered until five (5) years after leaving coaching.

The annual induction dinner is held in November. Inductee names are inscribed on a plaque mounted outside Dutchmen Arena at Tappan Zee High School.

For more information, contact co-chairs Pat Dizzine (pdizzine@optonline.net) and Bill Dailey (wcd106@optonline.net).
