The Achievement Award was presented to Jake Fisher with the Class of ‘97. The Vocational Award went to Ronnie Hershberger with the Class of ‘79. The Service Award recipient is Janet Kos Ferry with the Class of ‘67. The Community Impact Award recipient is Dan Clark with the Class of ‘68. The Athletic Award was presented to Tanner Miller wit the Class of 2010, and the Fine Arts Award was given to Sandra Reed Class of ‘83.

Learning Design Leader & Communications Specialist for the Mid Prairie School District Taylor Weber shares how you can nominate someone for the Alumni Award, “To nominate alumni for any of these six awards, in our Mid Prairie newsletter that goes out twice a year, in the Fall issue there is a section of a nomination form that they can fill out and mail into Mid Prairie Central Office, or if they don’t receive the newsletter or would rather do electronically they can always email information to me at alumni@mphawks.org.”

Since 2019, there have been six different Alumni Award winners each year.
