Overview

St. Edward High School (SEHS), an elite, private, all-boys high school nationally renowned for its dominant athletic programs, recently completed a long-overdue gymnasium renovation.

Challenges:

Known for their powerhouse athletic programs and a history of excellence, the school had earned more state and national championship banners in the last 75 years than the gym rafters could hold.

With a proud legacy dating back to the 1950s, the school wanted to honor its champions while leaving space for future victories. With their rafters filling up and more championships on the horizon, SEHS needed a solution to showcase their achievements while making room for future victories.

Solutions:

Woodshed was tasked with the careful recreation of 71 championship banners. Our solution involved scaling the size of the banners down slightly, ensuring they maintained the same historical look while fitting within the gym’s new layout.

The goal was to preserve the integrity and legacy of each banner, allowing all banners to be displayed without sacrificing room for inevitable future championships.

Execution:

Woodshed meticulously reproduced every banner, from the oldest dating back to the 1950s to present day.

By slightly reducing the size of each banner, SEHS was able to proudly fly all banners, leaving ample room in the rafters for future victories.

The result is a gymnasium that showcases a rich legacy of success while providing space for many more celebrations to come.

Impact:

Now that the banners have been painstakingly recreated, fabricated, and hung in the rafter, the nationally-recognized school can finally display each and every championship banner the students have earned, including room for future wins. This has project continued to instill pride among students, faculty, and alumni.
