Induction Class Composition

Each induction class will include a minimum of six (6) and a maximum of eight (8) inductees.  The Selection Committee will pay special attention to the composition and balance of each class.  While there does not need to be an inductee chosen from each category, there is a maximum number of inductees that may be elected for each category in a given cycle:

Athlete: 5
Coach:  2
Team: 2
ESA: 1

No class shall have more than two (2) posthumous inductees. 

In 2019, a new category was created to honor the athletes and teams of yesteryear; deserving individuals and groups from the early years of Hill Athletics that might otherwise not be considered.  Each induction class may have up to one (1) athlete and one (1) team for this category, but there does not have to be a selection.  This group is separate of the regular induction class and therefore does not count toward the posthumous limit.  

Nomination Procedure

Any person affiliated with The Hill School may make a nomination for the Athletics Hall of Fame: this group includes alumni; past and present parents; current, past, and retired coaches; and current, former, retired, and emeriti faculty.
