The Rossville High School Athletic Hall of Fame is a memorial to the outstanding athletes who, through their athletic achievements, have brought honor to themselves, their school, and their community.

The purpose of the Hall of Fame is threefold. First, it recognizes and honors the exceptional athletes who have brought honor to Rossville High. Second, it establishes the hearts of our youth a motivating influence to excel in athletics and academics. Third, it fosters pride, preserves good sportsmanship, scholarship, and citizenship in our school and community.

The Rossville Hall of Fame is committed to recognizing those individuals who have been influential to the continued excellence of the traditions in athletics at Rossville High School: Many great athletes have developed these traditions, and the Hall of Fame is intended to honor those who have mastered higher levels of excellence either at the collegiate or professional level. Hall of Fame inductees will exemplify a degree of separation from the great to the truly exceptional. Consideration will be given to the fact that opportunities may have been limited in some cases based on gender and the cultural/norms of the era. The Rossville Hall of Fame committee will induct those individuals who through their dedication and achievements have brought outstanding recognition to themselves and Rossville High School. Nominees for membership in the Hall of Fame shall be graduates of Rossville High School or personnel who meet these requirements.
