2009 Search for most outstanding alumni the 80^th year special

Rationale:

It also showcases the exemplary characteristics of what it is to an outstanding alumnus or alumna.

          The Search Committee believes that giving recognition to alumni would greatly challenge others to instill the value of excellence, commitment and integrity in life. This will also give them opportunity to refresh the glorious memories of their Alma Mater and strengthen the relationship with the school.
