The Distinguished Alumni Award
The Distinguished Alumni awards were given each Fall in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The 2020 awards were postponed until the Fall of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The district will now continue the award every other year from this point on.
Nominations for the 2023 event will take place from February 2023 through April 2023.
The Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes and honors Mundelein High School graduates who have made significant and noteworthy achievements as successful adults in their chosen careers and/or have made positive contributions to society. This recognition provides current students the opportunity to realize and appreciate the contributions made by those who graduated before them.
