Regardless, any Colerain graduate is eligible to receive the Distinguished Graduate Award.

Nominations/Eligibility: 1. Petitioners must sign petitions or the petition will be invalid. 2. Petitions must be submitted to the high school office in person or by mail. 3. Any graduate of Colerain High School is eligible to receive the Distinguished Graduate Award. This includes any student educated before 1925 in schools that became part of Colerain High School. 4. The nominee must have graduated at least five years prior to the date of induction 5. Those nominees selected for induction by the voting committee will be notified by the committee chairperson. 6.
