Inductees include Zach Miner (baseball); Suzie Fogleman (golf); Eric Kresser (football); Wilmer Diego (soccer); Kelley Hermann (wrestling); Barbara Gillespie (softball and basketball); Amy Parille (softball); David Castillo (football); Shack Leonard (basketball); and Tim Tharp (football coach).
Tharp, who coached the Gators from 1998-2005 and finished 56-14, was named Jupiter’s head football coach in December.
The ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. in the school’s auditorium, and will include a tribute to the Gators’ undefeated 1973 football team.
That team, despite its perfect season, did not participate in the state playoff series due to the tie-breaking procedures that awarded the playoff berth to another school.
