HCS Graduates of Distinction Program

The Honeoye Central School District has a rich tradition of delivering a top notch education to students in the Honeoye community. While enrollment numbers, programming, and activities associated with the district may have changed with the times, this campus represents fond memories of HCS school days for virtually thousands of Honeoye students.  As the academic launchpad for college, career and life readiness, there is much to feel #HoneoyePROUD about when we consider the vast array of accomplished alumni who may boast HCS as their alma mater.

Graduates of Distinction Program
In celebration of our accomplished alumni, the HCS Graduates of Distinction program was created and designed to recognize individuals who have achieved distinction through outstanding accomplishment or achievement.  Honorees will be HCS alumni of ten years or greater post graduation date who have demonstrated themselves to be exemplary citizens AND who have distinguished themselves through service, exceptional career achievement or lifetime accomplishment.  This program is further intended to offer inspiration about the promise and potential of postsecondary life for current and future HCS students.

 

Definitive Criterion for Candidate Nominations:

  • Service
  • Exceptional Career Achievement
  • Lifetime Accomplishment
  • Other Notable Contributions - Honors, Awards, Recognitions

Up to five Graduates of Distinction will be selected and recognized each school year.  A rating scale will be utilized to evaluate eligibility of candidates for identification as an HCS Graduate of Distinction.
