In 1989, the Outstanding Graduate Program was initiated to honor graduates from Livingston schools, including those students who came to LISD from Onalaska ISD, who have achieved excellence since graduating from Livingston High School or Dunbar High School. The recipients of these honors are nominated by a community member and rated by previous Oustanding Graduates. Nominees must have graduated from a Livingston school at least 20 years ago and be recognized in areas such as career field, community, area/state/nation, etc. The Outstanding Graduates are visible role models for our local students and serve to encourage them to strive for excellence. Listed are the past year's recipients of the award.

Nominations for the 2009 Outstanding Graduates are due by December 12, 2008.

Pick up a nomination form at the LISD Communications Building.
