RHS Distinguished Alumni

     RHS LAUNCHES DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD PROGRAM RHS principal Jack Lorenz announced that his office is now accepting nominations for the newly initiated Distinguished Alumni Award. Chosen on the basis of their achievements in their fields or contributions to society, the award winners will have plaques hung in their names in the main vestibule at the Heermance Place entrance to the building. 

     "The purpose of the wall is to recognize alumni who have distinguished themselves through their achievements in their fields or contributions to society," said Lorenz. "The recognition wall will serve as an inspiration to students attending RHS each year." In the first year, he said, the program will recognize several distinguished alumni posthumously to reflect the early history of RHS.

     The public is invited to participate in the nomination process. Please send nominations to RHS, Distinguished Alumni Selection Committee, c/o Principal's Office, 627 E. Ridgewood Avenue, Ridgewood NJ 07451. Nominations should include a detailed description of the nominee explaining why the candidate should be honored as a Distinguished Alumni of RHS as well as the individual's special recognitions, honors, awards, or accomplishments. The deadline is Friday, March 23, 2007. The Distinguished Alumni Award recognition program will be held on a biannual basis, alternating with RHS Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.
