A Distinguished Alumni Selection Committee consisting of Distinguished Alumni, Community Members, Teachers, and Foundation Members will select the Distinguished Alumni each year with the MVTHS Superintendent serving in an ex officio position.
There is no predetermined number of recipients each year but the selection process is limited.
If your nominee is not selected in a given year, your nomination application will be reviewed each year by the selection committee. However, a nominator should feel free to resubmit a nomination in order to update information.
