In 2011, in combination with the ongoing celebration of Forest Lake Area High School's 100th Graduating Class, district officials decided to create a Hall of Fame to honor those individuals who have contributed so much over the past century in helping make our school district great. The creation of the Forest Lake Area Schools Hall of Fame was a great success, and the induction ceremony included many of the inductees as well as great turnout. Then in 2012, following up on the great success of the district Hall of Fame, Forest Lake Area High School undertook the task of revamping its Athletics Hall of Fame. In June of 2012 - for the first time since 1999 - new members were inducted into the Hall of Fame.
