A constitution and by-laws were adopted in October of 2004. Since then Wylie Sports Hall of Honor has acquired 501c-3 status with the IRS and gifts and donations to our organization are tax deductible.

The Wylie Sports Hall of Honor has a close relationship with, but is not otherwise connected to or financially dependent on the Wylie ISD. WISD Athletic Director, Kyle Craighead, is a member of the board of Governors and serves as a vital liaison to the school district.
