The honorees will be recognized at the celebration dinner April 24 at Woodstone Country Club and Lodge, Danielsville. The public is invited to attend to help NASD faculty, administrators and students honor the alumni, who will receive an official Distinguished Alumni Award plaque.

The plaque for each honoree will recognize their personal and professional post-high school graduation achievements and will feature a current photo as well as a graduation photo. The plaques will be permanently mounted on the Distinguished Alumni Wall of Honor, located in NAHS’ main lobby, in June.

The inductees honored on the wall serve as an inspiration to all students and as a reminder to the entire community of NASD’s proud education tradition and commitment to serve others.
