PURPOSE:

The purpose of the Walker High School Athletic Hall of Fame is to recognize and honor those Walker High School athletes, coaches, administrators, and contributors/supporters who excelled in their respective sports or coaching/support roles, and who helped to bring honor, recognition, distinction and excellence to Walker High School, both on and off the field or court of competition.  This recognition will help maintain the spirit, pride, and sense of community, as well as serving as a historical account of the great athletic traditions of Walker High School.

 

CRITERIA:

In order to maintain the integrity of the Athletic Hall of Fame, nominees must exemplify the highest standards of sportsmanship, ethical conduct and moral character.  Inductees may be removed for failure to maintain previously mentioned standards.  All candidates will be considered based on their significant and/or long-term contributions to athletic endeavors.

 

NOMINATION PROCESS:

Anyone, other than current members of the Selection Committee, may nominate someone for inclusion in the Walker High School Athletic Hall of Fame.  Nomination packets may be obtained through a process established by the Administration of Walker High.  The nomination form is developed by the Selection Committee and made available to the public through the Administration of Walker High School. The deadline for nominations is March 31st.  

Is there someone you would like to nominate for the Athletic Hall of Fame?
