BRUIN HALL OF FAME

In order to preserve the heritage and tradition of athletic excellence at Bear River High School, the Bear River Athletic Hall of Fame was created in 2010 to honor the very best in the history of Bruin athletics.

This special honor will recognize members of the Bear River family who distinguished themselves as outstanding contributors to athletics at Bear River High School, and possibly beyond, by demonstrating an ongoing commitment to, and the promotion of, athletic excellence, character values, and good sportsmanship.
