The National High School Coaches Association and Mayor Salvatore J. Panto, Jr. of Easton, PA announced the building of the first ever High School Sports Hall of Fame Museum this week at a press conference. The National High School Sports Hall of Fame Museum will be built in Easton, Pennsylvania and be the first of its kind.
Funded by the City of Easton and donations, the building will feature Hall of Fame inductees, a Hall of Achievement, and a Sports Education Center to name just a few of its amenities. The NHSCA is a non-profit organization that selects a National High School Coach of the Year and National High School Senior Athlete of the Year for 20 sports, as well as, conducting national championship events in a variety of high school sports. These recipients will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
The Mayor of Easton, Pennsylvania, Mayor Salvatore J. Panto, Jr, announced that the building will be built in the downtown Easton area. Mayor Panto is calling the structure a “huge benefit to Easton.” City officials last week announced plans to condemn the former Marquis Theatre and Perkins restaurant properties to build a two-story 350-space parking deck atop an eight-bay bus terminal. Panto also says, “this is going to be a nice compliment to the other museums and the Crayola Factory we already have in downtown Easton.”
Robert Ferraro, Sr, CEO/Founder of the NHSCA has been working on making this facility a reality for nine years. Mr. Ferraro states, “We are thrilled to finally have a home for our inductees. High School sports deserve notoriety and now it will get it. This is going to be a great addition to our organization as well as the sports world.”
