Alumni Awards

The annual Distinguished Alumni Award and the Diane Webber Alumni Service Award have been created in an effort to recognize graduates of Parish Episcopal School or Parish Day School who have succeeded in their personal and professional lives. The Alumni candidates will have distinguished themselves by virtue of their contributions to the community as well as to their professions and/or their service to Parish.

To nominate a deserving alumna/us for either award, complete and submit an online nomination form below. All members of the Parish community, including faculty/staff, can submit nominations.

Nominations should be submitted by August 1 to be considered for the academic year. The award recipients will be announced during the Founders' Day in the fall, and nominees not selected will remain on the slate for the following year. 

The Award recipients will also be recognized with the installation of an alumni panel in the Great Hall on the Midway Campus.
