Distinguished Alumni

Graduates who went on to achieve something notable after leaving Kelso, in any field. The accomplishment doesn't have to be tied to school at all - it's about a graduate's life reflecting well on where they came from.

Distinguished Service

People whose contribution to the school or district wasn't a single moment, but a sustained commitment over years. Often behind the scenes - board members, longtime volunteers, staff who kept things running.

Athletics (Individual)

Athletes, coaches, and program builders who defined an era of Hilander sports. Recognizes standout performance on the field or court, but also the coaching and leadership that built programs worth remembering decades later.

Team, Group, or Collective

For recognizing a team, class, or group as a single unit rather than singling out individuals. Use this when the achievement or legacy genuinely belongs to the whole group, not to any one person within it.

Academic (Individual)

Teachers, administrators, and academic achievers whose work in the classroom left a lasting mark on Kelso students. This includes educators who shaped curriculum and culture, as well as students whose academic accomplishments brought recognition to the district.

Community Hero

Recognizes impact that reached beyond the school gates and into Kelso itself. This is for people whose presence shaped the wider community, not just the student body - a category for legacies that don't fit neatly into a school record.
