Criteria for an athlete to be inducted into the Hall of Fame includes having an outstanding career on one or more varsity teams and graduating from BHS. The athlete is eligible for induction five years after graduating.

A coach is eligible for induction if he or she had an outstanding career for more than 10 years at BHS and is no longer coaching at the school.

The Warrior Award is given to “someone who has given outstanding service to Brookline High School athletics and who has shown good moral character, dedication, devotion, and loyalty to BHS athletics.”

The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held at an annual dinner at the end of each school year, which will also honor all of the varsity letter winners.
