Statement of Purpose
The Ligonier Valley School District Athletic Hall of Fame was founded in 2022 to recognize and preserve the heritage of high school athletics in the Ligonier Valley School District, to keep alive their tradition and spirit, and to honor each year those persons who, through distinguished achievement, have excelled in one or more athletic programs.
Hall of Fame nominees are individuals who have raised the level of awareness in high school athletics through their distinguished achievement and excellence in one or more high school athletic programs sponsored by the Ligonier Valley School District, or through their contributions to high school athletics in other fields of work. These individuals may include student-athletes, coaches, administrators, contest officials, media personnel, sports medicine personnel, statisticians and managers, athletic trainers, or distinguished volunteers. Nominees may be retired from their field or still active. Nominees must exemplify the highest standards of sportsmanship, ethical conduct, and moral character.
The categories of student-athlete, coach, and contributor are included on the nomination form for expediency in understanding the primary area in which an individual is to be considered for his or her achievements in high school athletics. These groupings are for screening purposes only and to assist those in making the nominations in understanding the type of information required. Once nominees are inducted, they are not categorized, but all are recognized as members of the Ligonier Valley Athletic Hall of Fame.
Explanation of categories are as follows:
All nominees will be judged on their significant and/or long-term contributions to Ligonier Valley School District athletics. While many have served their schools or areas over a long and distinguished career, their accomplishments must have been worthy of district-wide recognition for them to be considered. Longevity, without meaningful impact, does not constitute appropriate credentials for Hall of Fame consideration. The Ligonier Valley School District Athletic Hall of Fame committee may consider a nominee’s total record of contribution(s) to high school athletics in determining eligibility for candidacy and not just his/her record of service in the category which the nomination is made. The committee also may waive the minimum years of service requirement when exceptional circumstances, such as injury, illness, or death, have prevented an otherwise worthy candidate from meeting the requirement.
