Hall of Fame

R. A. Long High School established a "Hall of Fame" in 2005. The first inductees were the 1981 Washington State Girls Basketball champions. Winners of several other awards, including the Wally Whitted Award and Marlen Petersen Award, were automatically inducted into the "Lifetime Achivement" section.

The Hall of Fame seeks to recognize outstanding people associated with R. A. Long High School. The Hall of Fame hopes attain this goal by honoring members of the R. A. Long community in the following areas:

• Indivdual
• Team
• Lifetime Achievement

Plaques honoring all inductees are located in the R. A. Long Gymnasium on the walkway outside the weight room (the weight room was originally the swimming pool).
