TFS Athletic Legends

Tallulah Falls School to honor Athletic Legends

Tallulah Falls School is launching a new recognition program to honor athletic achievement. Athletes, coaches and contributors are eligible for nomination. A selection committee will vote via secret ballot after the initial nominating period. To support the philosophy and need of the school to encourage student-athletes to participate in multiple sports, the voting requirement for single-sport athletes will be 80% for induction and 70% for multi-sport athletes. A multi-sport participant is defined as a senior earning a varsity letter in at least two sports. 

The deadline for nominations for this inaugural year is Sept. 15, 2018.
