The Wall of Fame
Venango Catholic High School has a tradition known as the Wall of Fame. Student-athletes are recognized on the Wall of Fame if they made First Team, All-Conference for any sport during their time at Venango Catholic. First Team, All-Conference athletes are nominated and voted on by the coaches of the particular sport being played in VC’s athletic conference, which is currently the Keystone Shortway Athletic Conference.
Every other year, qualifying alumni are invited to participate in a commissioning dinner at the school, during which their photo and credentials will be added to the Wall of Fame. Venango Catholic is incredibly proud of these student athletes, and looks forward to including new students in this tradition.
