NHS Alumni Association

Distinguished Alumni

The Distinguished Alumnus Award was established in 1995.  Its purpose is to honor NHS graduates and former students who have made significant contributions to society and whose accomplishments and careers have brought credit to the institution.  These alumni are recognized at home football games and are profiled in The Daily Sentinel before the game.
