Roseville High School will be inducting five new members into their Athletic Hall of Fame at a ceremony on May 30, 2024. This year’s inductees are Ed Mizinski, Bob Wilson, Doug Dawson, Erica Martin, and Angela Martin.

Roseville High School Athletic Director Keith Marzec said that this is the fourth class of inductees, the first since 2020. “We are excited to have the event return and be able to celebrate such a great class of athletes.” The induction ceremony will take place on May 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the RHS auditorium. This event is open to the public free of charge. There will be a small reception for the inductees in the culinary arts wing prior to the induction ceremony. “We have made changes to the event that will allow more people to attend the ceremony. In the past there was limited space available when we held it in our cafeteria. Now we will be able to have more people in the auditorium to celebrate with the class of 2024.”

The inaugural RHS Hall of Fame class featured Ernie Whitt, Brian Sikorski, Davon Gray, Joe Pantaleo, Vanessa Blair, Rich Maloney, Harry Sullins, and Stan Mizinski. The following years saw standout athletes Cliff Howe, Anthony Stadwick, Marie Palinkas, Robert Zimmerman, Micaela Mayer and Ken Fiott added to the list. Also included in the initial three classes were coaches Maxwell Berry and Bob DeStefano and two teams: The 1997 RHS wrestling team and the 1949 Eastland High School basketball team. A selection committee consisting of former Roseville Athletic Directors from the current Roseville High School, Brablec High School, and the original RHS, vote each year for the class of honorees. To be inducted, former athletes must have graduated from Roseville Community Schools, been out of school for ten years, have played collegiate sports and/or earned honors at the league or state level.
