The Rock Hill Local School District proudly announces the establishment and first class of the Rock Hill Athletic Hall of Fame.
Four months ago the Rock Hill School District Administration and School Board allowed for the appointment of a committee tasked with putting together the first annual class of an Athletic Hall of Fame for the school.
With over 60 years of rich and vibrant history to go through; the committee, after putting in many hours of discussion and debate, has elected 18 individuals to be inducted in the first class.
Over 50 outstanding athletes, coaches and contributors were under consideration as candidates, and while each has been deemed worthy, the committee came to a consensus of 18 for the first class.
While this is the first class to be inducted, there will be more classes to come for the Hall of Fame, with the next class to be scheduled to go in during the fall of 2019. The School District looks at this as a positive way to honor the District’s rich and wonderful athletic history. It has been a very daunting task to be able to bring over 60 years’ worth of people and teams within our district to come to such a small group to be elected.
The Hall of Fame will be an ongoing event annually for the next couple of years and will gradually taper off to every 2-3 years in bringing recognition to those who have truly stood out over the years within our district athletically. The District values and would love to have community input going forward and will be implementing a process for those who live or attended our district the opportunity to nominate and bring names and accomplishments before the committee for consideration.
Mr. Sam Gue, High School Principal, is the presiding chair of the Hall of Fame Committee.
On Friday, Oct. 5, at the high school football game vs. the Ironton Tigers, the school district will be honoring the first members of the Rock Hill Athletic Hall of Fame prior to the game and will host a pregame meal for the inductees and their guests.
