On September 27, 2024, seven (7) former HHCA Eagles were inducted into the Hilton Head Christian Academy (HHCA) Athletics Hall of Fame. 

HHCA's Athletics Hall of Fame was created in 2015 to honor athletes, coaches, administrators, and other supporters who have contributed to building HHCA's legacy of athletic success.

Fourteen members were inducted in the inaugural year. Since 2015, many HHCA athletes have been inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame, and all are currently honored in a visual display on campus.  

HHCA's Hall of Fame athletes have achieved greatness in sport and exemplified the values of sportsmanship, perseverance, and dedication to playing for an Audience of One. These outstanding leaders have left an indelible mark on our school, community, and beyond.
