Norwin seeks 'distinguished alums' nominees
The Norwin Alumni & Friends Association is taking nominations until 4 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8 of Norwin graduates or its predecessor schools who have had distinguished careers to be part of the 2020 Class of Distinguished Alumni.
Norwin community residents can nominate a maximum of two alumni who graduated from Norwin in 2008 or earlier, or graduated from the former Irwin and North Huntingdon high schools. The alumni and friends association may select one Distinguished Friend of Norwin to be honored for service to Norwin schools and its communities.
Among the criteria to be considered for post-high school academic and/or career excellence is service to community through volunteerism, exemplary character and evidence of going above and beyond to distinguish themselves from other Norwin area graduates.
The Norwin School District Community Foundation is working with the alumni association on the distinguished alumni event, which will honor up to 10 Norwin graduates.
The nomination forms are available at nsdcf.org.
For more information, contact Lauren Steiner, NAFA nominating committee chair, via email at lauren.steiner11@gmail.com. Nomination forms and supporting documents can also be mailed to NAFA 281 McMahon Drive, North Huntingdon, PA, 15642.
Recipients will be honored at the third annual Knight of Distinguished Alumni Recognition Dinner, in May at Stratigos Banquet Centre in North Huntingdon.
