Selection:

The Oviedo High School Hall of Fame will have a two-level selection process that will be conducted by the Screening Committee and the Selection Committee. Induction will occur every four years.

The Hall of Fame Screening Committee will annually evaluate nomination of individuals submitted by the prescribed deadline date. They will approve only those individuals who meet the nomination criteria and had significant long-term contributions or accomplishments within Oviedo High School Athletics. Those deemed worthy of recognition will be approved and forwarded to the Selection Committee. The Screening Committee will be comprised of:

• the current Assistant Principal over the Athletic Department of Oviedo High School
• the current Athletic Director of Oviedo High School
• the current Athletic Secretary of Oviedo High School  

The Screening Committee will also serve to evaluate and establish induction guidelines on an annual basis. After approving all worthy nominees, the Screening Committee will determine the number of candidates in each category that will be inducted. These quotas will be used to select the induction class after voting by the Selection Committee.

The Screening Committee will decide one of three options for each nominee:

• Approved – Sent on to the Selection Committee.
• Hold for Future Consideration – In most cases, this indicates that additional information and supportive material would be helpful for future consideration.  
• Inactive – Nominee no longer considered for induction unless renominated after a one-year waiting period.

A nominee shall be approved and sent on to the Selection Committee if approved by two-thirds of the Screening Committee. If a nominee does not receive two-thirds of the votes from the Screening Committee, they will automatically be held for future consideration.

All nominations that meet the eligibility criteria will be voted on in an induction year. Voters on the Selection Committee include:

• the current Principal of Oviedo High School
• the current Assistant Principal over the Athletic Department of Oviedo High School
• the current Athletic Director of Oviedo High School
• the current Assistant Athletic Director(s) of Oviedo High School
• all former Principals of Oviedo High School

The Selection Committee voting members will receive a ballot of all candidates approved by the Screening Committee. Each member will select ten candidates as their selections to the Hall of Fame. The candidates that receive the most votes will become members of the Oviedo High School Athletic Hall of Fame. In the event of a tie, the tied candidate will return to the Screening Committee for a final vote.

An induction class will include no more than 10 selections that will not include more than two teams or two special contributors.
