Capping the day-long festivities at Eisenhower High School's 50th Anniversary was the induction of eight Ike graduates into the newly created Alumni Hall of Fame.

Randy was also a writer for Dolly Parton's number one hit song, "Why'd You Come In Here Lookin' Like That?". He shared a 1997 Grammy for "Best Country Song" with Bob Carlisle for writing "Butterfly Kisses". |
| Ronnie Lott | 1977 | Ronnie was a talented athlete at Eisenhower, making All-League in football, basketball and baseball. His performance on the field earned him an athletic scholarship to the University of Southern California. While playing for the Trojans, he was a unanimous All-American and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and the USC Athletic Hall of Fame. Lott was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers and played for them for 10 years. He was one of five 49ers who played in all four of the 49ers Super Bowl games. He later played for the Raiders and Jets. Ronnie was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2009. He has devoted his time and money to numerous charities and makes regular visits to the sick and homeless.

| David Lang | 1986 | David was voted "Most Athletic" during his senior year at Eisenhower, and rightfully so. He was a varsity football player for two years and was also on the basketball and track team. David went on to be an All-American football running back in the National Football League. He was drafted in the 12th round of the 1990 NFL Draft, from Northern Arizona University. He spent four years with the Los Angeles Rams. In 1992 he rushed for a career-high 203 yards on 33 carries and caught 18 passes for 283 yards. He scored six touch-downs.

| Craig Newsome | 1989 | Craig was a varsity football player during his junior and senior years at Eisenhower. Following graduation he went on to play football for San Bernardino Valley College and Arizona State University. He was then drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1995. He was the starting corner back on the 1996 Green Bay Packers championship team. He was considered by many to be the quietist and perhaps the shyest player on the Packers Super Bowl XXXI Team. But fortunately for the Packers, his game spoke volumes. Newsome was traded to the San Francisco 49ers in 1999. |
| Ted Chronopolous | 1990 | Ted was a varsity soccer player throughout his entire high school career at Eisenhower High School. He is now a retired American soccer player.

| Issiah "Iz" Avila | 1996 | Issiah made a critical choice at the age of 16 to continue his education and to graduate from Eisenhower, despite the opportunity to go into the music industry. After he graduated, he joined EPIC recording artist, Macy Gray, as her drummer. Performing with Gray opened many doors for Issiah such as a worldwide tour and cameo role in the blockbuster hit "Spiderman". Issiah continued his career and joined forces with his brother to become a production duo going on to produce records for mega artists such as Janet Jackson, Usher, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Gwen Stefani and Earth, Wind Fire.
