Historical Context

The Freeport High School Wall of Fame was started in 1972 by Freeport High School athletic director George Emma (1938-1983).  Emma created the Wall of Fame to boost school spirit by highlighting the accomplishments of Red Devil athletes.  It honors both individual athletes who were all-scholastic, three-sport varsity athletes, most valuable/improved players and sports teams that won a division conference or county championship.  Photographs of the athletes are prominently displayed at Freeport High School. In 2024, the earliest honorees were digitized for virtual display.
