History and Purpose
The Distinguished Alumni Award will be presented annually beginning in the fall of 2024. The award has been established to celebrate graduates of Little Chute High School/Career Pathways Academy who have achieved exceptional professional accomplishments over an extended period and have been a positive influence in the larger community or the lives of others.
Successful nominees would also exhibit high standards in three or more of our eight district outcomes (a complete list of the eight district learner goals are outlined in our Blueprint for Brilliance):
Artistic Appreciators, Societal Contributors, Effective Communicators, Global Cultural Participants, Problem Solvers & Critical Thinkers, Personal Wellness, Self-Directed Learners, and Utilize Technology.
This is an annual award, but it is not required that someone be selected each year. If selected, the recipient will receive an engraved plaque recognizing their contributions, and be invited to receive the award at a recognition assembly during homecoming week each year. The Little Chute High School will also display a plaque to recognize the recipient's achievements. For questions, please contact the District Office.
