The 2026 Hall of Fame Dinner on Friday, November 13th, at The Tech Interactive in San Jose.

Nominate someone for the Class of 2027 here.

Since 2011, the East Side Education Foundation has hosted a dinner ceremony to honor the latest class of inductees to the Thomas P. Ryan Hall of Fame. Held at the historic Hayes Mansion in San José, this exciting event is attended by hundreds of school and community leaders, Hall of Fame alumni, and other special guests.  

All proceeds from the Hall of Fame Dinner help to fund the Spartan East Side Promise, a program providing counseling, mentorship, and financial support to East Side students on their education journeys. Our hope is to one day honor them as Hall of Famers.
