- Awards for our HOF/HOH ceremonies - Each honoree receives a commemorative clock, and a handsome brushed aluminum plaque, mounted on solid walnut, is hung in the commons area of the high school. We want to be able to recognize the excellence of our alumni and community service honors recipients with tasteful and significant awards.
ALUMNI HALL OF FAME AND COMMUNITY HALL OF HONOR INFORMATION
The Northwestern Alumni Hall of Fame was established in 2005 to recognize graduates of Northwestern High School (as well as the schools that merged to form the present district) who have distinguished themselves by a high level of achievement, and have set a standard of excellence to which present students can aspire. Honorees are chosen every two years by a Selection Committee, drawn from the Northwestern community, which chooses a maximum of five honorees from among nominations submitted by the general public. You may submit nominations at any time between induction years; however, nominations for a current induction ceremony year are due no later than October 1st prior to be considered by the selection committee for induction.
The Northwestern Community Hall of Honor was established in 2005 to recognize and honor those who have distinguished themselves by their service to the Northwestern schools and/or the residents of the district.

You may submit nominations at any time between induction years; however, nominations for a current induction ceremony year are due no later than October 1st prior to be considered by the selection committee for induction.
