Distinguished Alumni Awards
2021 Nominations Being Accepted
Nominations are now being accepted for the 2021 Distinguished Alumni Awards. We look forward to celebrating another outstanding group Sept. 30, 2021 at NCR Country Club.
The Distinguished Alumni Award celebrates alumni who have made significant accomplishments in their careers or dedicated themselves to service while maintaining high standards in personal integrity and character. Individuals must have graduated more than 15 years ago. This year, we will accept nominees from classes 2006 and before. While the award has frequently been awarded to individuals approaching, or at the end of the careers, we hope to recognize alumni who are achieving greatness at every stage of their careers and lives. Please consider nominating an OHS alum! Nominations are due June 1.
