The committee selected a large class of inductees for this year due to the ever-growing number of nominations the committee receives and to reduced the backlog of deserving athletic candidates. The AHOF Induction Ceremony is scheduled for October 8, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. in the Auditorium of Alexandria City High School. The event includes a reception and ceremony followed by the unveiling of plaques.
This item will return for approval at the June 2, 2022 School Board Meeting.

Background:
|
In February 2014, the Alexandria City School Board formed the Athletic Hall of Fame Advisory Committee in response to numerous requests to memorialize outstanding student athletes, and to inspire current students to strive for excellence. Since that time, there have been 79 inductees into the ACPS Athletic Hall of Fame.
Each year, the Alexandria City School Board’s Athletic Hall of Fame Advisory Committee reviews community nominations of deserving high school athletes, teams, coaches and non-athlete contributors for inclusion in the ACPS Athletic Hall of Fame. Nominees are selected based on their athletic accomplishments in high school, college and beyond, as well as their impact or contribution to the community at large.
