Distinguished Alumna Award

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNA AWARD

Each year during Reunion Weekend, Castilleja School presents the Distinguished Alumna Award to an alumna who has consistently demonstrated the values of the 5Cs in her personal, professional, and community life.

We invite Castilleja alumnae to nominate a classmate for the 2019 Distinguished Alumna Award. Submissions are due by Tuesday, September 10, 2019.

The Alumnae Awards Committee will review all submissions and select this year's recipient.
