Alumni Awards

ALUMNI
DISTINGUISHED
ACHIEVEMENT
AWARD

Since 1983, the Poly Prep Alumni Association has presented Alumni Awards to graduates who have brought honor to themselves in one of three categories: distinguished achievements in their respective fields, service to Poly Prep, and support of our Alma Mater. Eligibility for consideration begins after the twenty-fifth year of graduation from Poly.

The Alumni Awards are presented by the Board of Governors during the Alumni Association Annual Meeting each year on Reunion Day to alumni who embody the inspirational qualities to lead, succeed, and serve their community.

Congratulations to all the recipients of the Alumni Association Award for Distinguished Achievement.
