47th Annual Honor Banquet Gala
One afternoon a year, the PVIL comes back to life.
Every July, coaches, players, cheerleaders, band members, families, and friends gather in Houston to induct a new class into the PVILCA Hall of Honor. Inductees are recognized by sport and by service — coaches, athletes, meritorious honorees, and the PVIL–UIL bridging class who carried the league's standard into integrated competition.
The program includes a plated luncheon, the induction ceremony, the presentation of scholarships to graduating seniors, and a closing reception where the school banners come out and the stories run long. Dress is business or church attire; school colors are always welcome.
