Schools establishing or refining athletic hall of fame programs face a fundamental challenge: creating selection criteria that balance inclusive celebration with meaningful standards. Set the bar too high, and deserving athletes go unrecognized. Set it too low, and hall of fame status loses significance. The most successful programs establish clear, transparent criteria that earn community respect while acknowledging the full spectrum of athletic excellence across sports, eras, and competitive contexts.
