Jersey Retirement Information

  1. Letter of recommendation for retirement of jersey candidate given to or written by Athletic Director of the Midview Local School District for approval.

  2. Approval of candidate by Athletic Director shall be based upon the following guidelines:

    1. Candidate played and graduated from the Midview Local School District.

    2. Candidate is at minimum five (5) years removed from high school.

    3. Exceptions may apply at the approval of the Athletic Director and Midview High School Principal.

  3. Once approved by the Athletic Director, the candidate shall be submitted to the Midview Athletic Council for final approval.  Retiring a jersey requires board approval.

  4. Approval by the Midview Athletic Council shall be based upon one or more of the following guidelines:

    1. All-time leading scorer for a particular sport at MHS.

    2. Recognized as the top male or female athlete in the state of Ohio (i.e. Mr. or Miss Basketball)

    3. MVP of the state tournament of their sport

    4. All-American in intercollegiate athletics

    5. Selected to Hall of Fame of their sport in intercollegiate athletics

    6. Played at the highest level of their sport (NBA, MLB, WNBA, etc.)

    7. Coached a MHS team to a regional title or higher

    8. Brought significant recognition to Midview High School

  5. Jerseys of current student-athletes may be retired on an honorary basis in the event of death or other significant event during the season. Approval for this event shall be decided upon by MHS Principal and the Athletic Council.

    In the unfortunate event of the death of an athlete, the coach or team may choose, with approval from the Athletic Council, to honor that individual in some way, but the jersey will not be retired. (For instance, a team may choose to wear the student’s number as a patch on their jersey for a season or two.)

  6. Retirement of a jersey does not constitute retirement of the number on the jersey. When a jersey is retired, it is the name, not the number, which is retired.

  7. Measures equivalent to retiring a jersey, such as placing a picture or a plaque in other areas, such as fine arts, career and technology programs, or academics, where a former student achieves a substantial distinction will be addressed between the MHS Principal and Superintendent; following similar standards
