Distinguished Alumnae Award
Click here to watch excerpts of the 2010 honorees' remarks
The purpose of the Distinguished Alumnae Award is to recognize and acknowledge the significant contributions being made by our alumnae in many fields of endeavor. The award honors alumnae who represent a range of excellence in vocation, community service, character, and/or service to McGehee.
The award recipients are honored on Founder's Day at a reception in their honor and then at the Founder's Day Assembly. Award recipients are presented with an Award Certificate and a gift from the School during the Founder's Day Assembly.
Should you have any questions, please contact:
