A selection committee (consisting of 2 students, 2 former faculty members, 2 current faculty members, 2 community members, and 2 alumni) reviews the nominations and biographical data received on each of the nominees. The selection process takes hours of reading, discussing, and reviewing before final selections are made. The committee selects nominees for induction.

Induction Information
Selected candidates will be recognized and inducted to the BHS Wall of Fame during a very special Night of Inspiration at a BHS varsity basketball game in January 2025. More details on the evening (including date and time) will be shared in the Fall.
