“This is one of our best events each year,” HCS Superintendent Teresa Morgan said. “I encourage our community to nominate an HCS alum who has excelled in his or her chosen profession or has made outstanding contributions to his or her community. Our alums are important to us and this is a fantastic way to honor them.”

The deadline for nominations is July 24, 2026. Nominees must have graduated from any current or former high school in Hardin County Schools no less than five years ago (2021). The district will honor the class on September 24, 2026, at the Hardin County Schools Early College and Career Center.
