History of the Louis E. Dieruff High School Wall of Distinction

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the opening of our high school, your alumni association and the school's adminstrator came up with the concept to honor alumni for their life accomplishments. Each year a new slate of inductees are chosen by a selection committee from nominees presented during a qualification period.

Purpose:  To give lasting recognition to graduates of Dieruff High School who have made exceptional contributions in their field, bringing honor to themselves and to Dieruff High School.  Furthermore, it is the purpose of the Alumni Wall of Distinction to promote Husky Pride among current students, inspiring them to strive toward future accomplishments.
