Nomination Guidelines
Charter
A standing committee of five persons shall be in place to identify and select those individuals who have uniquely contributed to Palmetto High School Athletics. The Hall of Fame (HOF) will recognize and honor these individuals annually. The school Athletic Director shall always hold a position on the committee along with seven volunteers willing to fulfill its mission. The Palmetto High School Athletic Boosters shall serve as the financial arm through which the program funding takes place.
HOF nominations are open to the public as the path for identifying potential inductees. After proper vetting, qualified candidate names will be placed on a ballot. The ballot will be distributed to the committee and members of the HOF for a vote. Vetting of HOF members will continue beyond the induction ceremony.
The HOF committee will plan and organize an annual induction banquet for selectees and guests. Proper recognition will take place at the ceremony and all honorees will have a place on the Palmetto High School Campus.
