The Athletic Hall of Fame is a function of the school district and Webb City R-7 Schools Foundation. It was established in 2016 to commemorate a legacy of exceptional athletic performances and accomplishments, and to pay tribute to those indivfiduals and teams who have shaped the district’s athletic history.
Honorees are chosen by a selection committee comprised of current and retired administrators and coaches.
Tickets ($35) can still be purchased online or at the Webb City R-7 Central Office, 411 N. Madison St.
