The NJCL maintains a list of every member who has been on two (or more) teams which won a national certamen championship at any level. Below are the MassJCL members who are in the Hall of Fame. In 2025, the NJCL also added a second type of inductee – called a “Merens”. This is reserved for teachers and coaches that have given tremendously to the certamen community. Our very own Mr. Howard and Ms. Moguel were among the first Merens inductees.
- Katherine Hodge (‘11, ‘12) – Advanced Math and Science Academy
- Christopher Liao (‘11, ‘13) – Boston Latin School
- Timothy Morrissey (‘11, ‘12) – Advanced Math and Science Academy

Even if a player didn’t win two national championships, just making it to the finals round at the NJCL Convention is a huge accomplishment. Below is a list of some Massachusetts teams that have done it. A * indicates that that player was named MVP for their level.
