HALL OF FAME

Official Nomination Form

The Virginia Interscholastic Association Hall of Fame is organized as a means of recognizing and preserving the rich heritage and legacy of African American (Black) high school sports and activities under the direction of the VIA from 1954-1970 and promoting greater appreciation and understanding of the contributions of Blacks to the history of high school sports and activities in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Nominees must have exemplified the highest standards of sportsmanship, ethical conduct, moral character, and carry the endorsement of their respective high school.

All candidates will be judged on their significant and/or long term contribution to interscholastic athletics and activities. While many served their school and local programs over a long and distinguished career, their accomplishments must have have been worthy of state recognition for them to be considered. Longevity, without meaningful state impact, does not constitute appropriate credentials for Hall of Fame Consideration.
