Agenda Item Summary:

Each year, the Alexandria City School Board’s Athletic Hall of Fame Advisory Committee reviews community nominations of deserving high school athletes, teams, coaches and non-athlete contributors for inclusion in the ACPS Athletic Hall of Fame. Nominees are selected based on their athletic accomplishments in high school, college and beyond, as well as their impact or contribution to the community at large.
On May 6, 2019, the AHOF Advisory Committee met to evaluate the list of nominees and by overwhelming consensus selected the following for induction into the ACPS Athletic Hall of Fame for 2019:
• Julius Campbell, T.C. Williams High School, Class of 1973, Football
• Walter Densmore, George Washington High School, Class of 1957, Basketball
• Tanya Galloway, T.C. Williams High School, Class of 1988, Track
• Ricky Garcia, T.C. Williams High School, Class of 1979, Track
• Cavanaugh Hagen, T.C. Williams High School, Class of 2001, Basketball

• Arnold Thurmond, Parker Gray High School, Basketball Coach
• Glenn Williams, T.C. Williams High School, Class of 1984, Basketball

The AHOF Induction Ceremony is scheduled for October 4, 2019 during T.C. Williams High School’s Homecoming weekend. This event includes a reception and ceremony followed by the plaque unveiling.
