The Fergus Falls Distinguished Alumni nominees will be presented to a special committee of the 544 Education Foundation Board, who will bring the honorees before the entire Board during its monthly meeting. Honorees will be inducted into the Fergus Falls High School Hall of Fame, recognized at the Senior Honors Banquet and receive the Foundation's highest honor, the Bronze Otter.

We have chosen to recognize Fergus Falls graduates who have distinguished themselves through significant success in the public and private sectors. We feel graduates can credit their Fergus Falls educational experience as a foundation for their further professional achievements. Nominees should be able to serve as role models for today's students.

Please do not let your nominee know they are being considered for the award. Also, YOU do not need to be an alum of Fergus Falls high school to make a nomination. Previous nominations are considered each year.
