A hall of fame display with room for every inductee
A plaque wall fills up, and each new class means another order and another hole in the wall. A touchscreen hall of fame display lets visitors search inductees by name, sport or year while your staff add each new class in Rocket’s editor.

Why it matters
Plaque walls run out of space and stories
Many halls of fame start as a wall of plaques, and the wall fills faster than anyone planned. A plaque holds a name and a year, not the photo, the stats or the reason the person was chosen. Visitors walk past because there is nothing to explore.
Ideas for Hall of Fame Display
Searchable inductee profiles
Give each inductee a profile with a photo, induction year, sport or activity and a short biography. Visitors search by name instead of scanning rows of plaques.
Induction classes by year
Group inductees by induction class so a returning alum can find the year they attended the ceremony.
Academic and arts inductees
Recognize alumni from music, theater, academics and service alongside athletes. A hall of fame reads as a whole-school story when it is not only sports.
Photos of the original plaques
Photograph the existing plaques and keep them on each profile, so the history of the old wall carries into the new one.
Induction night photos
Add photos from the induction dinner or halftime introduction so families can relive the moment when they visit.
A nomination note
Add a short note telling visitors how to nominate someone for a future class, so the display also feeds next year’s committee.
How it works with Hardware
Hall of Fame Display, step by step.
Three steps
Choose the wall or kiosk
Pick a wall-mounted touchscreen bundle, a freestanding kiosk or a WonderWall for the hall of fame location. Already own a screen? Share its make and model so we can check compatibility.
Load your inductees
Send your plaque photos, lists and bios. Complimentary data entry and a bulk upload tool mean your staff do not have to type every plaque by hand.
Mount, connect and launch
Your facilities team mounts the screen near power and a network connection, then you launch. New classes go in through Rocket’s editor, with no per-profile fees.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Tips to get it right.
Hall of Fame Display tips
Collect bios with the nomination
Ask for a short bio and photo as part of each nomination packet. The profile is then ready on the night of the ceremony.
Keep one owner for the list
Name one staff member or committee chair who approves names, years and spellings before anything is published.
Place it where people wait
A gym lobby or main entrance gives visitors a few minutes to explore between events. A narrow hallway with steady traffic does not.
Share the online version too
The same hall of fame can be explored on the web, so post the link in your induction announcement for alumni who live far away.

Questions
Hall of Fame Display questions
Rocket supplies the History Showcase software and, if you want it, the touchscreen hardware. Complimentary data entry and a bulk upload tool help move your plaque wall into searchable profiles. New classes can be added without per-profile fees.
Yes. You can keep the original plaques and place a touchscreen beside them, or frame the screen inside a WonderWall or custom panel. A free installation mockup shows how the two can sit together.
Hardware is quoted for your school’s setup, because screen size, mounting style and enclosure all affect the total. The installation mockup costs nothing, and a compatible screen you already own may be reused.
Content is unlimited, with no per-profile fees. Many committees start with recent classes and add earlier ones as their research is finished.
