Nomination Procedure

Any person affiliated with The Hill School may make a nomination for the Athletics Hall of Fame: this group includes alumni; past and present parents; current, past, and retired coaches; and current, former, retired, and emeriti faculty. Nominations can be made on-line, or may be submitted through the mail using the PDF forms located on the same nomination forms page.

Each nomination must be accompanied by a "resume" explaining why the nominee or team deserves Hall of Fame consideration. This resume should include a detailed explanation of the nominee’s or team's achievements and will be reviewed by the Selection Committee and may be discussed with relevant coaches and faculty as necessary during the vetting process. Please be aware that a nominator may be contacted if the Selection Committee needs more information about the nominee than was included in the nomination form.

No more than five (5) nominees will be inducted annually. Special attention will be paid to the composition and balance within each nominated class. Preference will be given to alumni and the majority of any class should be composed of alumni first. Each class could also have a team and/or a coach as well. However, no class should have more than one (1) team or more than two (2) coaches. There may also be one (1) inductee for the Extraordinary Sports Achievement category in a class. Finally, no class shall have more than one (1) posthumous inductee.

Make a nomination.
