ABOUT THE DURANGO HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The distinguished alumni award will be given in memory of the late DHS Alum, USMC Captain Jeff Kuss, whose personal character also inspired the required qualifications for the distinguished student award. Future awards will continue to recognize these attributes: perseverance, passion, self-discipline, respect for others, integrity, and above all, the kind of charisma that inspires others to achieve their best. 
​
Future plans for the association call for developing an alumni mentorship program, to connect students and recent graduates to alumni in their areas of interest. The association is also planning for an alumni speakers program, to bring information about life preparation and experiences to students about to leave high school for the wider world. More activities will develop as the association grows, and you can help grow it!
