A long-standing Laker tradition was brought back on Saturday!

About 120 individuals gathered at the Legends Golf Club on Saturday, September 30 for the 2023 Laker Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Dinner. Laker Educational Foundation partnered with Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools to host the event.

The Laker Hall of Fame has a tradition of providing recognition for deserving graduates and staff of Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools for their accomplishments within the district or as adults in our world. This slate of distinguished graduates and staff represent high achieving individuals in the areas of Activities, Athletics or as a Distinguished Individual with career accomplishments. Nominations for the 2023 Laker Hall of Fame inductees were collected in the spring. Inductees were honored during homecoming week at the Prior Lake High School Varsity football game and the Laker Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Dinner.
