Kentucky Academic Hall of Fame
Eligible for the Kentucky Academic Hall of Fame are:
- Coaches, administrators, or officials who have accomplished at least one specific noteworthy achievement that furthers academic competition on a local, regional or statewide level. Membership in the KAAC Hall of Fame is NOT a Years of Service honor.
- Governor’s Cup Alumni who have a noteworthy record of achievement in KAAC-sponsored academic events, or those alumni who have achieved noteworthy accomplishments in their professional lives. Alumni must be at least five years out of high school and should be making some sort of contribution to KAAC efforts.
- To nominate an adult or student for the Hall of Fame, submit a Hall of Fame Nomination. Link to the following year's nomination form will be posted in May 2023.
KAAC proudly honors those who have gone “above and beyond” in order to provide a brighter future for Kentucky students.
