Inductees into the Sports Hall of Fame

 

The Nomination Process

Each year, former Fox Chapel athletes or coaches are nominated by the public via a Nomination Form as possible Hall Inductees.  These persons must have attended or mentored either Fox Chapel Area High School or one of the schools pre-district merger, although their actual athletic achievements of note may not have come about until after graduation. All must have graduated at least ten years prior to date of admission into the Hall of Fame.

In January, the Nominating Committee reviews all the nominations and decides upon the upcoming Inductee Class.  At the same time, the Committee may select a past team to be honored.

Nominations of those not inducted remain on file for future consideration for ten years.  Questions?  Please contact Jim Perry.
