Eligibility/Criteria
- Athletes, coaches, teams, administrators or supporters, living or deceased, shall be eligible for induction subject to the criteria below. All nominees must represent the Pleasant Hill High School tradition of excellence and the values of athletic participation.
Athletes:
- Must be a PHHS graduate - selection committee will have discretion in unique, special circumstances (i.e.; death, accident).
However, during the time the school shutdown (1979-80), students went to either Ygnacio Valley, College Park and/or other high schools in the area, consideration will be given to those student/athletes that attended another high school and finished their athletic careers at that school.
- Must have lettered in one or more Varsity sports.
- Athletic ability, sportsmanship, character, leadership, contribution to team and the games he/she participated in. A similar standard of ethics shall have characterized the years following their time at Pleasant Hill High School, to the best of the committee’s knowledge.
- Awarded All-Conference, All-North Coast, All-State, any individual or team championship, any record or winning streak, league leader in recognized statistical category, college scholarship, etc. If possible, achievements should be on record and verified by copies of news clippings, yearbooks, certificates of awards, etc. All-star teams, tournaments, and awards were less common in earlier eras and documentation of achievements might not exist, especially for older nominees. This will be taken into consideration.
- Committee may also consider post-graduate activities including college and professional experience.
Coaches:
- Any coach with 5+ years coaching experience at PHHS is eligible (the Committee may make exceptions as to years experience in unique, special circumstances).
- Accomplishments (individual or teams) must have merited league and/or statewide recognition, as well as made significant contributions to the athletic programs at PHHS.
- Coaching ability, loyalty to PHHS, leadership, character, athletic expertise, significant contribution to their teams and to the sports they coached must have been demonstrated.
- The same ethical and life standards expected of his/her athletes shall also characterize the life of the coach.
- As with student/athletes that attended other high schools when Pleasant Hill shut down, that same consideration will be given coaches that continued coaching at other schools.
Teams:
- Championship teams having attained record status.
Administrators/Staff/Volunteers/Supporters
- Exceptional leadership, character, loyalty to PHHS and the passion for, and support of, the success of Pleasant Hill High School athletics is paramount.
