Article VI of the Charlestown Alumni Association Bylaws:
Distinguished Alumni Award
Each year alumni may nominate fellow alumni for this award. Nominations may be submitted with the reservation form or by email or U.S. mail. Deadline for submission will be noted on the reservation form and the Alumni website. The most recent Distinguished Alumnus will poll past recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Awards to select the recipient. A minimum of five past recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Award will select the future Distinguished Alumni. Qualifications for nomination are as follows:
- must be an alumnus of Charlestown High School
- must be or have been a member in the alumni (paid dues)
- must demonstrate good citizenship and involvement in his or her community
Professional accomplishment may also be an item for consideration as this is often a matter of outstanding achievement.
The committee may select up to three Distinguished Alumni.
