Distinguished Alumni
The Distinguished Award was initiated by the High School Student Council in 1992, at which time the Alumni Association assisted in the nomination and research process.
The Alumni Association has continued the tradition after the Student Council disbanded the project. The nominees are Lewisburg Area High School graduates who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in one’s chosen profession, who have demonstrated unique or unusual service to humanity, or who have demonstrated significant leadership or service to their communities thereby reflecting great credit upon themselves and the Lewisburg school system.
