UHS Distinguished Alumnus Award & Celebration

What We Do

UHS Distinguished Alumnus Award & Celebration

Please join us Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023 at the Stoney Creek Hotel for the UHS Distinguished Alumnus Award and Celebration! Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

The UHS Distinguished Alumnus Award and Celebration Committee is a sub-committee of the Urbandale Alumni Association and made up of seven volunteer Urbandale High School alumni. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit part of the Urbandale Schools and Alumni Foundation. This committee was organized to plan, promote and execute a new event which would include a nomination and selection of an Urbandale alumni for their distinguished contributions to the community with award presentation and a fundraising event with proceeds going towards Urbandale High School scholarships.

The Urbandale Alumni Association mission is to connect alumni, supporters and community by promoting a sense of pride and engaged participation through programs, education and student scholarships and we are hoping we hit all the marks in this event!

Congratulations to Michelle Wright, Class of 1975, for being named the 2023 Distinguished Alumnus of the Year!
