Hall of Fame

At Port Lincoln High School's Centenary Celebration function (October 1st, 2023), we announced the names of the first twenty-three inductees into our inaugural Hall of Fame. “The 23 in ‘23” were nominated by members of the PLHS school community, with the final list ultimately ratified by the school’s centenary planning committee.
