The officers and council of the Boardman High School Alumni Association are seeking applications for the 2013 Boardman High School Distinguished Alumni award.

The purpose of the award is to recognize outstanding alumni of Boardman High School who have maintained a high standard of excellence and made significant contributions in their fields.

These individuals must exemplify the ideals and spirit of Boardman High School and should serve as role models for Boardman High School students.

The association is looking for nominations from alumni or community leaders for applicants that meet this criteria:

Graduate of Boardman High School a minimum of 20 years prior to the year in which the award will be presented.

Demonstrated recognized achievement in his/her profession, community, charitable endeavors and/or to Boardman schools.

Applications are due March 1.

Each year, up to two individual nominees with the best cumulative rankings will be the recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award.

The award winners will be presented with the award at the Senior Honors Assembly in May. A copy of their award plaque will be placed on the new Alumni wall outside of the BHS office. Applications for the 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award are available at boardmanalumni.org or email boardmanalumni@gmail.com to request an application.
