2026 Hall of Fame

The NPHS Alumni Association congratulates all of the honorees inducted into the NPHS Hall of Fame Class of 2026.

The induction ceremony was held on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

It was an honor to hear the NPHS Chorus open the event with the national anthem. The beautiful blend of their voices filled the room.

It was wonderful to see so many alumni, past HOF members, friends and family come together for the afternoon to celebrate the honorees. The speeches were heartfelt, all with a similar theme…North Plainfield will always be home, no matter where one travels or lives, the memories of the town and the school, are with them always. The inductees recognized teachers and coaches who made an impact. There were stories about the students of NPHS, and how they have always been strong, polite, and spirited. Many times throughout the ceremony we heard…

Once a Canuck…always a Canuck.

Congratulation again to the NPHS HOF inductees!
