Distinguished Alumni Award

The Distinguished Alumni Award was established in 2020 to honor select graduates of
Crestwood High School, Fairview High School, or White Haven High School.

Recipients are individuals who have achieved success in their field of endeavor and/or have had a

The Inaugural Class of Distinguished Alumni included three (3) recipients and were

5. An eligible candidate who is deceased may be nominated for consideration as a
   Distinguished Alumni Award recipient.

A 7-person selection committee was appointed by the Crestwood Board of Education.

of the Districts site.

This committee is responsible for:

• Identifying Candidates for the Award

Each award winner will be honored at an in-school assembly annually. Crestwood’s student body, faculty, administration and Board of Directors will all be invited to attend. 

A plaque will be presented to the award Recipient that will be displayed prominently in the High School.  A lunch or dinner will also be held to honor the award recipients.
