Community celebrates Galvin Court dedication
Students, staff, alumni and community members gathered for a pre-game reception and packed the game gym at White Bear Lake Area High School prior to the first Boys' Basketball game in the space for a special event on Dec. 13. Long-time coach, teacher, and community member Jim Galvin was honored at a dedication event naming the WBLAHS gymnasium as “Galvin Court.”
Galvin began his teaching and coaching career at White Bear in 1970. He served as head basketball coach from 1972 to 1998. Under Galvin’s guidance, the success of the White Bear basketball program was unparalleled. His 1984 and 1985 teams won 52 consecutive games and earned back-to-back Class AA State Championships.
