The criteria for Patrick County High School’s Distinguished Patrick Countian Award have been reopened to include any graduate of a school in Patrick County, according to a news release from PCHS.
The award started on that basis shortly after the high school was established, but a few years ago it was limited to only graduates of Patrick County High School.
Now, graduates of all previous schools that were designated as high schools within Patrick County are eligible (for example, Stuart, Meadows of Dan, Hardin Reynolds, Blue Ridge, Red Bank, or Woolwine).
A nominee does not have to be a current resident of Patrick County and does not have to hold a college degree..
Recipients must contribute to their community, wherever they reside. This contribution can be in connection with their profession but must not be part of their for-profit business.
Examples of community contributions include scouting, church leadership, and active membership in civic organizations.
