I wrote an email a few months back to nominate someone and nothing. If you take the time to write the accomplishments and reasons as to why someone should be nominated, I would of hoped some sort of response would of been appropriate. Even if the nominee was not chosen.
I'm not sure if I saw the email as I've changed some operating systems, or, I may have forwarded onto the chairperson of the committee. Basically the Hall of Fame is open to Columbia High School graduates, who have been for an athlete, out of their sport for five years. There is also consideration given to outstanding coach, teams and contributors to the athletic program. The committee asks those making nominations to include as much information as possible -- scoring averages, team records and athletic honors as possible. The committee then meets (there are 10 members of the committee) who review the applications and vote on the inductees information as presented. The limit of six potential inductees was approved by the Columbia School Board. I can mail anyone nomination forms if needed. Right now, there are about 15 nominees still on the list and the committee hopes that continues to grow.
