Eligible persons may include former students*, former employees* (i.e. former teachers, former principals, former district administrators, former support staff); former school board members*; public officials and community leaders; parents of former Richland One students; or any other persons who have made the kinds of contributions which qualify for recognition in the Richland One Hall of Fame.

The majority of honorees inducted each year will be alumni of Richland One schools. At least two selections each year will be reserved for deceased persons.
