A celebration for the WVHS Athletics Hall of Fame 2025 Class of Inductees was held on May 10, 2025, at Pennings Farm Cidery. During the celebration, Warwick Valley Athletics Director Gregory Sirico unveiled an all-new website to serve as the virtual home of the Hall of Fame: www.warwickvalleyschools.com/athletics/hall-of-fame. The website includes profiles of each of this year’s Wildcat inductees, and will be updated annually to reflect the latest honorees.
