Menominee Indian High School is planning a permanent way to honor its standout athletes.
Athletic Director Chuck Raasch has begun the process of creating an athletic hall of fame.
“It will be a source of pride for them, their families, the school and the community,” Raasch said.
The school is accepting nominees through Nov. 4. A nine-person selection committee will make the final decision on the hall’s first inductees before the end of the year.
The committee is composed of Duane Waukau, Al Pyatskowit, Mary Arnold, Jeff Waukau, Chris Clache, Kirk Bahr, Paul Wilke, Teri Wynos and Raasch.
Raasch said the committee members were chosen because of their knowledge of the MIHS athletic history.
Some committee members at some point might be inducted into the hall of fame for their contributions as athletes or coaches, Raasch noted.
Nominees must have graduated at least five years ago. They can be athletes, teams, coaches or anyone deemed to have given meritorious service to the athletic program.
The committee will be specifically looking for nominees who have exemplified high standards of sportsmanship and ethics.
The date of the inaugural induction ceremony will be announced in the spring.
