It's an exciting time for those of us involved and for our community. The Distinguished Alumnus Award is to be given to alumni who were graduated at least ten years ago, who are of good character and who have made significant contributions in their chosen field or profession. The Distinguished Staff Award is given to persons employed by the Perkins Schools for at least ten years, have been retired for at least three years, have modeled good character and made a significant difference in the lives of their students and served in ways that exceed usual expectations. The Distinguished Service Award is granted to persons who have served the Perkins School System in ways that went beyond usual involvement and who have modeled outstanding citizenship. The Hall of Fame Committee wants those who nominated persons who were not chosen this year to know that their candidates will be considered annually.
Nominations are welcome at any time.
An Alumni Choir directed by J. Harris Strohl will be performing at the banquet. You don't need to attend the dinner to perform with the choir We need alumni and friends to turn out for this performance, so JOIN US that night. The Perkins Alumni and Friends were a larger presence in the Homecoming Parade last September compared to a year ago. We were able to double our participation. Granted that means we had two vehicles instead of one and a a little more than twice as many people.
