Grand Island High School - Athletic Hall of Fame 2025

On this podcast episode we feature our Director of Physical Education, Health and Athletics, Brett Banker and PE Teacher and Coach, Dean Santorio. Brett is in his third year in the district taking over for the King of the North…Jon Roth…who taught, coached and served as our athletic director for 50 years!  In this episode we honor the induction of our 2nd Class of the Grand Island High School Athletic Hall of Fame.
