2027 Nominations Now Open
The Hall of Excellence, started in 1990 by a group of committed staff, faculty and alumni, was designed to celebrate alumni and individuals with ties to the school who had made large contributions in a variety of areas.
We are calling for nominations right now! Nominations can be received for two categories: Professional Success and Service to the School.
Nomination Process
An individual can only nominate one person for each category. All nominations will be received by the school and reviewed by a selection committee comprised of former staff members and alumni - many of whom started the Hall of Excellence in 1990 or are inductees themselves. Two or three nominees will be selected and honored at Lake Catholic's Annual Gala.
We hope you will take this opportunity to recognize someone within the Lake Catholic community. We have so much to be proud of and we look forward to celebrating those who make our community so special.
Service to the School
Nominees in the Service to the School category would have made an impact at Lake Catholic High School. These individuals may have served as faculty or staff members, volunteered in booster organizations, supported the school in a philanthropic manner, or generally may have been a "friend" to the school over the years. The nominee should be of strong character and be a great representative of Lake Catholic High School if selected for induction.
Nominations received by July 1, 2026, will be considered for the Class of 2027 - which will be inducted at the 43rd Annual Gala on March 20, 2027. All nominations received on, or after July 1, 2026, will be considered for the 2028 class.
Professional Success
Nominees should have made an impact at the local, state, or national levels through their professional success. These individuals may have been influential within their chosen profession or made large contributions within their field. The nominee should be of strong character and be a great representative of Lake Catholic High School if selected for induction.
Nominations received by July 1, 2026, will be considered for the Class of 2027 - which will be inducted at the 43rd Annual Gala on March 20, 2027. All nominations received on, or after July 1, 2026, will be considered for the 2028 class.
