The Newton Falls High School's Sports Hall of Fame, established in the summer of 2022, recognizes outstanding achievements in athletics by graduates of Newton Falls High School as well as coaches and honorary inductees. 

ELIGIBILITY:

THERE ARE FIVE TYPES OF NOMINEES INTO THE NEWTON FALLS HIGH SCHOOL'S SPORTS HALL OF FAME, EACH WITH UNIQUE CRITERIA:


ATHLETE


COACH OR ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATOR


LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT


HONORARY

An honorary nominee must have made a significant impact on the Newton Falls High School athletic program and would not otherwise qualify as an athlete, coach, or athletic administrator.


TEAM

A team nomination must have made a significant impact on the Newton Falls High School athletic program. Teams must have competed at least 5 years prior to selection. 

Submissions for Hall of Fame inductions are carefully considered by the Newton Falls High School Athletic Council which consists of the following individuals: 

Applications will be accepted until October 1st. The Council will review and qualify all nominations by confirming achievements (may request input from the nominating committee members), reviewing character history, considering any other contributing information. The Council will select the inductees for each year’s HOF induction class. Inductees (or their family in the event of a deceased inductee) will be notified after October 1st of their selection.


Recognition:


Submissions are accepted throughout the year and nomination forms are valid for FIVE years. After this time has expired, the candidate's name may be resubmitted on a new application form.


Please submit applications through the electronic form or email them to HS Principal Rachael Rankin at rankinr@nfschools.org. You can also drop off the nomination forms to the HS office. Thank you!
