Packer Sports Greats

Congratulations to all the members of the South High School Packer Sports Greats Athletic Hall of Fame!

Since 1996 
we have been honoring South’s outstanding individual athletes, coaches, and teams. Many championships were won due to these individuals, giving great glory and pride to South High and the South Omaha community.  We also recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the school’s athletic programs and facilities. Many SHS athletes continued to make their mark later with careers in college and professional sports.  
​Know someone worthy of this honor? See below to start the nomination process!

Our Packer Sports Greats 2026 class of outstanding alumni honorees will be inducted September 17, 2026 at Cascio's Steakhouse. Click here to RSVP! See below for this year's inductees and links to their bios and pictures.
