Billerica Memorial/Howe High School Athletic Hall of Fame

The Billerica Memorial - Howe High School Athletic Hall of Fame was started by a group of former BMHS athletes headed by former Indian football players Bill McNulty (Class of 1956) and Mike Granfield (Class of 1964) in 1991.

The first group of athletes was inducted into the hall in 1993 and the H.O.F. holds inductions about every three years.

The next induction will take place in either 2009 or 2010, more details to follow.

Several former HHS and BMHS football players have gone into the A.H.F. and this page is dedicated to those players.
