The committee will consider: awards/conference recognition, records established, championships, and individual statistics. The committee will also consider the athlete’s college career including recognition for achievements and awards obtained there. Professional achievements in athletics may also be considered when determining HOF status. It is also important the committee consider the athlete’s overall contribution to his or her sport both during High School and beyond and to weigh carefully both High School achievements and overall achievements as a measure of overall success in one’s sport.

At this point, coaches are not up for selection. Every year will be up for review for the inclusion of coaches. If coaches are to be included in the nomination process, a candidate must have been a varsity coach at West Vigo High School for five years and be retired before they will be considered for entrance into the HOF. The committee will consider coaches overall records, Championships, and number of years service to the program.
