| For nomination
to the North High Athletes Hall of Fame, the candidate must: |
| 1. | | Have
graduated from North High prior to nomination | | 2. | | Have
been an All-State First or Second Team selection or | | 3. | | Have
won a State Championship or have been a Runner-up or | | 4. | | Have
held a State or National Record or | | 5. | | Have
been named a High School All-American or | | 6. | | Have,
after graduation, earned National, State, Collegiate, or other special recognition
for achievement in athletics or | | 7. | | Have
been employed as a member of the North High Coaching Staff or |
| 8. | | Have
been voted in by majority of the members, in good standing, of the NHS Coaches
Association for outstanding contributions to North High athletics |
| 9. | | Example:
in 1994 there was a smaller number of inductees. This is the result of a wider
range of votes having been cast. Each coach votes for eight candidates. A candidate
must receive a majority of the votes cast to be elected. This year the votes were
spread out among so many candidates only three received enough votes to be elected.
| | 10. | | History:
The official induction ceremonies for the inaugural group of athletes into the
North High "Athletes Hall of Fame" took place at the Fort Des Moines
Hotel in Independence Hall on Saturday, May 6, 1989 at 1:30pm. The initial list
of inductees numbered 48. | | 11. | | Nomination
may be made by any current faculty member or coach, any former faculty member
or coach, or any North High alumnus. | | 12. | | Nominations
may be made at any time, and all nominations will be kept on file for future consideration. |
