University School of Milwaukee has a long-standing tradition of athletic achievement beginning with its three predecessor schools: Milwaukee Country Day School, Milwaukee Downer Seminary, and Milwaukee University School. That tradition, and the many people who contribute to it, were honored at the ceremony for the second class of Athletic Hall of Fame inductees on Oct. 12, 2019.
“While we always lead with academics, we know there is a powerful and strong link between academics and athletics,” said Head of School Laura Fuller in her opening remarks. “We believe wholeheartedly in educating the whole student, and that means academically, athletically, artistically, and ethically.”
