Nominations are being sought for the Alumnus Honoris Award presented annually at the Clintonville High School commencement ceremony.
The award recognizes the accomplishments of graduates from Clintonville or Bear Creek high schools.
The nomination deadline is Feb. 1. Nominations, which must be written and signed by the nominator, are being accepted by Lance Bagstad, Clintonville High School principal.
Nominations also should include as much detail as possible about the qualifications and accomplishments of the nominee and the year he or she graduated. Nominees do not need to be living.
The award honors distinguished performance in an area of endeavor, whether it be professional, vocational, business or military. The scope of the achievement upon which the recognition is based is unlimited chronologically, but it should be state, national or worldwide in geographical area, and not limited to a single profession. Impact on those outside the nominee’s field carries significant importance in consideration for this award.
Nominations made more than three years ago need to be resubmitted.
The winner will be selected by a committee composed of Bagstad, two community representatives and two members of the high school faculty.
The winner receives a certificate and engraved miniature silver bowl, and the person’s name is engraved on a commemorative plaque displayed in the main entrance of the high school.
For more information, call the high school office at 715-823-7215.
The award was presented for the first time in 1956.
