Athletic Hall of Fame Nomination

Each year, the Athletic Hall of Fame committee receives nominations and elects a new group of inductees into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame. Nominations are welcomed for alumni and coaches from Ransom Everglades School and the predecessor schools (The Adirondack-Florida School, the Ransom School and Everglades School for Girls).

Nominations are solicited from all members of the Ransom Everglades School community via the nomination form found below. The installation takes place each year on the Ransom campus during Reunion Weekend. The Hall of Fame celebration includes a dinner honoring each inductee on Thursday night. All current students, current families, alumni and their families and friends are encouraged to attend.

Nominators must complete the nomination form in full. Incomplete nomination forms will not be submitted to the Selection Committee. All nominations are kept on file for five years. There is no need to submit the same nominee each year.

Nomination forms must be received no later than January 31 of the year to be considered. Any forms received after that date will be considered for the following year’s awards.
