Welcome to the Collinsville CUSD 10 Kahok Hall of Fame
Collinsville Community Unit School District #10 is fortunate to have a long and storied list of alumni, residents and employees who are worthy of recognition for their community service, academic achievement, professional accomplishments and service to the district; and a long history of student athletes, alumni and coaches that have experienced a great deal of athletic success and accomplishments.
The Hall of Fame was established in May 2022 to recognize athletic and personal accomplishments, exemplary citizenship, contributions to society and actions that brought distinction and honor to all associated with Collinsville Community Unit School District #10.
To organize the difficult task of selecting inductees, the Hall of Fame Committee has established the following Hall of Fame Divisions:
- Distinguished: Individuals are recognized for community service, academic achievement, professional accomplishment and/or school district employment.
- Athletic: Individuals, teams and coaches are recognized for their success and accomplishments.
The Hall of Fame Selection Committee consists of eleven members: four from the school district and seven representing the community.
