GENERAL CRITERIA
Nominees must exemplify the highest standards of sportsmanship, ethical conduct, moral character, and carry the endorsement of Gar-Field Senior High School. The categories of student-athlete, coach, and contributor are included on the nomination form for expediency in understanding the primary area in which individuals are to be considered for their achievements in Gar-Field Senior High School athletics and activities. Once nominees are inducted, they are not categorized, but all are recognized as members of the Gar-Field Senior High School Hall of Fame.
To further explain, student-athletes are former participants who are being nominated for their achievements in interscholastic athletics at Gar-Field. They must have competed in a VHSL-sanctioned varsity sport/activity and must have excelled in that sport/activity. Accomplishments that are considered include, but are not limited to, individual (All-District, All-Region, All-State, All-Met, All-American) and team accomplishments (District, Region, or State Champions); individual or team school records; or overall impact on Gar-Field Senior High School during their respective time as student-athletes.
Eligibility is also open to coaches and contributors who have participated with distinction and/or made significant contributions to athletics and activities at Gar-Field Senior High School, as evidenced by the success of their respective teams at Gar-Field. A contributor would be an individual who has made a contribution to interscholastic athletics or activities at Gar-Field in some capacity other than those previously mentioned, including, but not limited to such areas as administration, sports medicine, sports media, official, event personnel, activities sponsor or participant, etc. Coaches and/or contributors may also be eligible in extenuating circumstances as determined by the Selection Committee.
All candidates were judged on their significant and/or long-term contribution to interscholastic athletics and activities WHILE AT GAR-FIELD SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL. While many have served their school and programs over a long and distinguished career, their accomplishments must have been worthy of at least District/County recognition for them to be considered. Longevity, without meaningful local impact does not constitute appropriate credentials for Hall of Fame consideration.
