Cupertino High School has inducted four new members into its prestigious hall of fame. Two graduates from the 1980s and two from the 1990s are now forever alongside more than 100 alumni and honorary members from throughout school history.

The Cupertino High School Hall of Fame was founded in May 1978 to honor successful graduates of the school's first 20 years. Inductions are held every other year. The four new members were inducted after a rally and ceremony on May 16.

Marty Mimmack from the Class of 1980 is now a motivational speaker and teacher who specializes in disability awareness and character education. He resides in Hawaii. While at 'Tino, he was a member of the speech and debate team and the Junior Achievement business organization. He was recognized as the state's speaker of the year while a senior.

After his time at CHS, he attended Santa Clara University on a speech scholarship. As a child, he was the Santa Clara County and National Poster Child for the March of Dimes.

Shari Fairbanks, Class of 1983, was one of the top athletes in 'Tino history. She was a star in volleyball, track and basketball, and she led her team to Cupertino High's only girls basketball league championship. Fairbanks also helped resurrect school mascot Dusty the Miner during her senior year.

Fairbanks played basketball at California State University, Stanislaus, for four years where she earned a degree in business and marketing. She now works for an agriculture business in the Central Valley.

Aki Yoshikawa is the school's only national champion wrestler. He was also a state champion and a two-time CCS champion. He also had a 44-1 record during his senior year.

Yoshikawa was the first wrestler to win the Bianchini Wrestling Tournament in each of his four varsity seasons. He later attended Arizona State University and earned a certification in physical therapy from Ohlone College. Today, he works at Facebook as a physical therapist assistant.

Alex Ding from the Class of 1998 was class president and a water polo player during his time at CHS. His time after high school saw him attend UC-Berkeley on a scholarship and return for graduate school to study public health.

He attended UC-San Francisco for medical school. He completed his medical residency in Boston, where he assisted in treating victims in the Boston Marathon bombings last year. Ding at one point was the youngest member of the American Medical Association board of trustees and participated in the creation of the Affordable Care Act.
