Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame Event
EAHS Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame
Each year, EAEF and the East Aurora School District recognize up to five nominees to be added to the East Aurora Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame. Recipients are honored at our annual Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame event in April, and they’re invited to speak to EAHS students at a special assembly.
Selection criteria includes:
- Graduated from EAHS at least 10 years prior to being nominated
- Excellence in their chosen field
- Outstanding service to their community (local, regional, or national level)
- Contributions to humanity (local, regional, or national level)
Nominations can be submitted for posthumous awards. Those currently seeking election to a political office may not be considered.
Nominations must be submitted by October 1 to be considered for the following year, with chosen recipients being notified in the fall of their selection.
