LPS Education Foundation

The Distinguished Alumni Award was established in 2022 to honor the accomplishments of
Livonia Public Schools graduates who have distinguished themselves as role models,
individuals who excel in their professions, or who have made significant contributions to their
communities. Distinguished Alumni Award recipients display the characteristics of
commitment, effort, leadership, pride and respect. The recognition of graduates who have
displayed these character traits will provide current students with positive role models.

Purpose and Background
The Distinguished Alumni Award is an opportunity to highlight former Livonia Public Schools
students for their post high school achievements. Nominees must meet the following
criteria:

• Be a graduate of a Livonia Public High School – Bentley, Churchill, Franklin or Stevenson.
• At least 10 years have passed since the nominee graduated from a Livonia Public High School.
• The nominee has made noteworthy contributions and achievements in his or her career on a local, regional, national, or international level.

Nomination Process
Nominations of candidates are now open. Below is a link to the page for the application or scan the QR code to submit online. Applications will be accepted through December 15. The LPS Education Foundation Board of Directors will review the nominations and select the award recipient. The recipient will be notified and honored at the Foundation’s Annual Gala in February. The recipient’s name will be permanently displayed on a plaque hanging in the Board of Education building and will receive an award to proudly display in his/her home.
