Each year, a select group of alumni are acknowledged for inclusion in the Alumni Honor Roll and profiled as Reasons to Believe in the value of leaving a lasting legacy of professionalism, knowledge, and community service in their respective communities. These are individuals whose accomplishments showcase their incredible skills and life stories, highlighting their perseverance, hard work, and dedication. Their qualities exemplify to all of us why they are Reasons to Believe and inspirations to many. This year, we added a new category, the Educator Award. In addition to exhibiting the same qualities and accomplishments as the Reasons to Believe Honorees, the Educator Award recognizes the unsung heroes actively working in K-12 schools.
