About Us

In January of 2006 Bob Ford, retired Plum Borough teacher, decided that the distinguished alumni of Plum High School should be recognized. After much research and many meetings with District and community representatives, the Plum High School Distinguished Alumni Committee was established in March of that year with the stated objective: To establish a program that recognizes Plum High School alumni who have distinguished themselves in various fields of excellence or have made a major contribution to society. Those selected as Distinguished Alumni are inducted at a springtime banquet and invited to speak at the National Honor Society induction ceremony the following day. Their achievements are recognized on the Wall of Distinction at the Senior High School. Members of the Distinguished Alumni continue to give back to their alma mater through classroom visits and digital video interviews available to current students.
