Distinguished Alumni & Citizen

Harper Creek Community Schools has been graduating students since 1960.  We invite the community to nominate outstanding Harper Creek alumni and citizens for the first Distinguished Alumni Award. Award winners will be honored at the graduation ceremony.

Nominations

All nomination submissions will be reviewed by the seven-person Distinguished Alumni and Citizen Committee, comprised of the Harper Creek Board of Education, faculty, and the community. This committee will make its final selections no later than the end of March each year with the awardees notified at that time. 

Questions regarding these two awards may be directed to Karla Kopp, Executive Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, at 269-441-6555.
