Ottumwa High School has a long tradition of outstanding athletics. In order to recognize this tradition of excellence, OHS recently established the Ottumwa High School Athletic Hall of Fame. Community members and alumni are invited to nominate former athletes and former or current coaches or administrators who are the best of the best. Nominations for 2021 are due by September 3.
