The LJCDS Alumni Awards recognize members of our community who have distinguished themselves through professional achievement, service to our school, or contributions to the greater community. Recipients are nominated by the community and selected by the LJCDS Alumni Council.

Awardees are recognized at the Alumni Awards Ceremony and Reception, which takes place as the kickoff event of Alumni Weekend. The 2024 Alumni Awards Ceremony will take place on Friday, August 23, 2024.

Recipients of the 2024 awards will be announced in the coming months. Read more about the 2023 recipients below.

The Distinguished Alum Award is presented annually and recognizes an alum who has demonstrated a personal commitment to the advancement of the school’s mission through service and/or contributions to the school.

The Honorary Alum Award is presented to a longstanding member of the LJCDS community who is not a graduate of the school. The award recognizes length of service, exceptional contributions to LJCDS and advocacy of its mission and values. The award is given out only in years when the school and the LJCDS Alumni Council determines a worthy candidate.
