The Baton Rouge High School
Hall Of Fame
A Statement Regarding the Baton Rouge High School Hall of Fame:
The Baton Rouge High School Foundation understands the concern regarding the lack of diversity in the Hall of Fame. We appreciate the discussion and hope for increased nominations as well as any insight to encourage additional nominations.
Hall of Fame inductees are chosen from an open nominating process. All nominations received are evaluated based on the merits of the nomination submitted. There is no tracking of race or gender in the process.
The Alumni Committee will review the nominating process to determine how to expand our communications to a broader alumni base and increase participation in nominating candidates for consideration. We welcome and encourage as many nominations as possible from all notable alumni, retired BRHS faculty and staff regardless of race, creed, color, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age and national origin.

When Did The Hall of Fame Begin?
The Baton Rouge High School Hall of Fame has its origins in the late 1970's. In the 1980's, it became the Athletic Hall of Fame. Through the years, interest in honoring so many accomplished and noteworthy individuals resulted in the former Alumni Association (now the Baton Rouge High School Foundation) agreeing to the expansion of the Hall of Fame to include, honor and celebrate alumni, BRHS faculty and staff. Those members of the 80's Athletic Hall of Fame are now listed in the contemporary BRHS Hall of Fame.
Who Is Eligible For The Hall of Fame?
The Hall of Fame is comprised of alumni, retired faculty and administrators that have made significant achievements in several aspects of their lives. They have made selfless contributions of time, talent and treasure to their neighbors and community. If a retired BRHS teacher or administrator, they have made a positive and measurable impact on students and educational programs far beyond their assigned duties. They are accomplished at the highest levels of their professions. Hall of Fame members have represented and fostered well the ideals of dedication to community, family, learning and philanthropy. These traits are the benchmarks by which the selection committee will evaluate each candidate for induction.
The next Hall of Fame induction year is 2022.
