The Prairie School Hall of Fame represents a cooperative effort between Prairie’s Development Office and the alumni community to honor those who have demonstrated success in one of four key areas: academia, the arts, athletics and leadership.

These four categories represent Prairie’s mission and philosophy of practice, celebrating alumni who have carried the spirit of Prairie into their lives post-graduation.

Committee and Process

The committee, composed of Prairie alumni, faculty and former faculty, will vote to induct individuals annually. Nominees not selected for awards will remain on the selection list for review in future years. Recipients will be announced in February, and will be celebrated during Prairie’s Alumni Weekend festivities.

Nominations

The Committee will seek nominations for inductees from the greater community – alumni, faculty, and friends of Prairie. Nominees (either living or deceased) must meet the qualifications established for each category.

Qualification for Hall of Fame Nominations

Prairie has a diverse and successful alumni community, and the Hall of Fame categories seek to honor those who have lived out the Prairie mission since graduation. Below you will find the qualifications for an alum to be considered as a Hall of Fame nominee.
