CANTON, Ohio - The first Pro Football Hall of Fame High School Classic is scheduled for Saturday, September 6, featuring six teams that will compete in regular-season games. Each team will have a representative who is a graduate of their respective school and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, as stated in a press release from the Hall of Fame.
Furthermore, the hall is set to introduce an application later this month, which was developed in January from an exhibit within the museum named "Character". This initiative holds significance for young student athletes, aiming to build upon the Hall of Fame's focus in 2025 to showcase content and experiences associated with the game of football.
"Thousands of kids and their families have engaged with the multimedia storytelling of the 'Character' exhibit as part of their tours in the hall to better understand and appreciate how team sports, especially football, grow and enhance lifelong positive traits learned on the field and in the locker room," said Jim Porter, president and CEO of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "Now the hall is taking its emphasis on character development forward in a big way with the High School Classic and the video message sent to families via the hall app.
HALL OF FAME APP
App messaging is scheduled to launch on Saturday, August 16, with an introductory video from Anthony Munoz. The program will continue daily, focusing on weeklong themes such as "Commitment," "Handling Adversity," and "Leadership" throughout the 10-week Ohio high school football regular season.
The app is available for download on iOS and Android devices. Search for "Pro Football Hall of Fame" in Apple's App Store or Google Play.
