Hall of Distinction
2021 Virtual Ceremony & Fundraiser
Due to the pandemic, the 2021 Hall of Distinction ceremony was held virtually — bringing together alumni from across the country to celebrate an outstanding class of inductees.
The 2021 Hall of Distinction was the first virtual ceremony in the Association's history, held in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
About the Event
The Weequahic High School Alumni Association held its 2021 Hall of Distinction ceremony as a virtual fundraiser event. Alumni joined from across the country to honor a new class of distinguished graduates and to support the Association's scholarship programs.
The event raised funds for the WHSAA scholarship program, which awards scholarships to current Weequahic High School students each year.
