Criteria for Eligibility

Do you have a friend, relative, or former classmate that you think is worthy of being inducted into the Washburn High School Athletic Hall of Fame? If so, here’s your chance to nominate that individual(s).

Many qualified individuals have played an important role in the history of Washburn High School Athletics – athletes, coaches, and individuals from the community have all played a significant role in the promotion of athletics at Washburn.
