The process of naming Maine West Distinguished Alumni is as follows:

• All nominations should be submitted via a form on the District website;

• Honorees should be at least 10 years removed from their Maine West graduation, demonstrate outstanding achievement in a chosen field and/or community service, and uphold high standards for strength of character;

• Honorees will be recognized during the school’s Homecoming celebrations in the fall. Nominations must be submitted by December 31 of the previous year;

• Nominations will be reviewed by a committee consisting of administrators, community members, and retired and current teachers who are alumni of the school;

• Nominations may be re-submitted for consideration in the following year if a different nominee is chosen for the award. Nominations do not automatically carry over into the next year;

• Honorees will be notified in early April so that they may plan to attend events at the school on the Friday before Homecoming, the date of which varies from year to year.

We are proud of the accomplishments and contributions of our Maine West Warriors. If you have any questions about this process, please contact Ms. Laura Cook, Director of Career Programming and Alumni Engagement at District 207. Please include Subject Line: MW Distinguished Alumni Nomination.
