The Star-Advertiser’s Fantastic Annual Homage To The 12 Hawaii Hall of Honor Inductees

Every year, the Hawaii Hall of Honor inducts 12 high school senior athletes to its long list that began in 1983.

 

And every year, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser pulls out all the stops and creates a nice package of stories and photos on all 12. The paper’s sports department knows all about these kids’ accomplishments over the past four years.

The Hall of Honor Class of 2020 was named May 25.
