Each year at the Honors Convocation in May, a distinguished Fremd High School alumni is recognized.   The award recognizes a Fremd High School graduate for achievement in their profession and philanthropic contribution to their communities.  The award provides current students with role models for exceptional accomplishments. Those nominated must have graduated at least 10 years ago; demonstrate a high level of achievement with significant accomplishments in their field; and exhibit leadership, character, and service to their community.  Parents, staff, retired staff, and all interested parties are asked to make nominations.

Those nominated and awarded this honor are presented with a plaque at the Honors Convocation and asked to speak to the students who are also being honored for their accomplishments. In addition, another plaque is displayed on the Distinguished Graduate wall across from the Kolze Auditorium.
