Whittier Tech Celebrates 50th Year with Inaugural Class of Athletic Hall of Fame

Superintendent Maureen Lynch is pleased to announce that Whittier Tech will be celebrating its 50th year with the first induction class into the Whittier Tech Athletic Hall of Fame.

The Athletic Hall of Fame was established to honor the 50th anniversary of Whittier Tech. The school received more than 100 nominations, but with the help of the Selection Committee, the field was narrowed to 10 honorees, including two teams, the 1979 football team and the 2005 girls' basketball team, two coaches, Denis Cronin and Denise Woodcock, significant contributors Ed and Patricia Penney, and five former student-athletes, Stephen K. Jayne '80, John Campbell '88, Scott LaValley '98, Alicia Cook '02, and Amanda Dennis '05.

An induction ceremony and celebration will be held on Friday, Oct. 13 at Haverhill Country Club, 58 Brickett Lane, Haverhill. A cocktail hour will begin at 6 p.m., followed by dinner and the recognition ceremony at 7 p.m. There will be a cash bar and entertainment.

"Operating for 50 years is an outstanding accomplishment, and all of us at Whittier Tech are thrilled to be celebrating this milestone with the first induction class of the Whittier Tech Athletic Hall of Fame," said Superintendent Lynch. "All of the individuals who have been inducted embody the values of Whittier Tech, and we cannot wait to celebrate with them and the members of our community at our upcoming celebration!"
