Distinguished Alumni Award
2023 marked the fourteenth year that the Alumni Foundation presented its Distinguished Alumni Award to an East Rochester graduate who has made significant and ongoing contributions to the children and village of East Rochester, their community, country or chosen profession. Due to the Corona Virus, we did not present an award in 2020.
The goal of this award is twofold. First, the Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes former East Rochester graduates for noteworthy lifetime accomplishments and contributions. Additionally, the award offers a powerful opportunity to underscore the potential which exists for kids who are lucky enough to grow up and be educated in East Rochester, N.Y.
