Advertiser Staff

Nomination packets are being accepted for the Hawai'i High School Athletic Association Hall of Honor, formerly known as the Nissan Hall of Honor.

Twelve outstanding high school senior student-athletes will be selected by a 15-member committee on May 20 for induction into the Hall, which was established in 1982 by Nissan Motor Corp. in Hawaii, Ltd.

The new inductees, who will each receive a $2,000 college scholarship, will be honored at the Hall's 26th annual banquet at the Sheraton Waikiki on June 3.

Athletic achievement is the primary factor in selection, but other factors include sportsmanship, academic standing, character and school/community involvement.

Official nomination forms, which must be submitted to a student's school athletic director by May 2, are available for download at the HHSAA's Web site (www.sportshigh.com) or by calling the HHSAA at 587-4495.

Supporting materials, including letters of recommendation, media clippings and transcripts, are limited to 8 1/2-inch by 11-inch sheets.
