Please review the criteria and eligibility for the award and make your nomination.

  
  

  The Process

  The St. Michael’s Catholic Academy Alumni Board accepts nominations for the awards from all members of the St. Michael’s community. A sub-committee of the Governing Board reviews the materials submitted on each candidate and selects the person deemed most deserving of recognition.
  
  

  All deliberations are kept confidential. The person chosen as Alum of the Year is honored each year at the Lifetime Crusader Alumnus of the Year Award Presentation and Dinner as well as at Homecoming.
