The mission of the Amesbury High School Athletic Hall of Fame is to recognize and honor our former students, coaches, and persons who have made a substantial contribution to the Amesbury High School Athletic program. Said recognition will hopefully inspire current and future participants to strive to exceed the standards set by those who walked the halls and athletic facilities before them representing Amesbury High School.
