Now just shy of 25 years old, Eaglecrest High School is looking to celebrate its big anniversary by honoring some of its best and brightest from the past.
Starting on June 1, the school began to take nominations from the public for the inaugural induction class for the Eaglecrest Athletics & Activities Hall of Fame, which debuts during the 2014-15 school year that begins in August.
Candidates must have graduated from the school at least five years ago, earned all-state or other accolades in their respective sports or activities and “be of high moral character, outstanding citizenship and the ideals embodied in the mission of Eaglecrest High School that includes the building of character, promoting cooperation and achieving excellence.”
Coaches, administrators and volunteers connected with the school are also eligible for nomination and consideration.
The selection committee includes a number of current Eaglecrest personnel, representation from school parents and the community and one media member, Aurora Sentinel Sports Editor Courtney Oakes.
Click here or find the EHS Hall of Fame tab on the Eaglecrest Activities & Athletics home page to download the nomination form and email completed form to athletic director Vince Orlando at vorlando@cherrycreekschools.org by Sept. 1.
Those selected to be in the first class will be notified and honored during a weekend of events in December.
Eaglecrest High School opened in 1990 and owns five Class 5A state championships: Football (1993), Boys Track & Field (2002), Softball (2005), Volleyball (2006) and most recently, Boys Basketball (2013) and also dominated the state in cheer under current principal Gwen Hansen-Vigil in the mid-1990s and early 2000s.
