A Graduate Once... An Alumni Forever

The Concept

One day it hit us. So much talent, skill, honor, and influence has come through St. Augustine and Ketterlinus High Schools that if people knew about it all, they would be amazed. So we decided to start recognizing it.

The St. Augustine/Ketterlinus High School Alumni Association Hall of Fame inducts a few special people each year. They are people affiliated with the schools who applied their education and experiences by contributing to society in significant and meaningful ways.

There are educators, business leaders, elected officials, military heroes, doctors, historians, lawyers and judges, athletes, and more…and they are all Yellow Jackets.

We honor these men and women as role models for our students, and for their professional contributions and their outstanding representation of the St. Augustine/Ketterlinus High School tradition of excellence.

To be considered for induction into the St. Augustine/Ketterlinus High School Alumni Hall of Fame, candidates must
