For the first time since 2019, Turlock High School will induct a new class to its storied Athletics Hall of Fame, and community members are being invited to participate in the nomination process.

This year’s Hall of Fame dinner will take place on Oct. 10 at a time and venue to be announced at a later date. In the meantime, nominations are open now through Feb. 15. Inductees will be announced on March 1 via social media channels.

 Nominations can be made on a Google form at: https://bit.ly/3Z3nZT6

 Nominees can include individuals and teams.

 Individuals must have been student-athletes and have been graduated from Turlock High School for a minimum of 10 years.

The nomination form asks to consider and list awards, accolades and statistics achieved by former student-athletes, as well as the success of their respective teams, leadership and citizenship qualities, and any athletic achievements after high school, whether it be at the collegiate or professional levels.

There have been 61 student-athletes and teams inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame since its inception in 1992.

For more information, community members can contact Assistant Principal Aaron Mello at amello@turlock.k12.ca.us or call the THS Activities office at (350) 206-6401.
