The Cabrini Hall of Fame allows us to recognize and honor the athletes, teams, coaches, and individuals who have significantly contributed to the school's athletic program. The Hall of Fame also acknowledges the noteworthy careers of alumni athletes, coaches and other sports-related professionals, thus preserving their accomplishments for future generations of proud Monarchs.
