Distinguished Alumni Awards

Since 1995 MAA has staged the Distinguished Alumni Awards and Banquet annually.  This signature program of the Association seeks to call out and commend a diverse group of five alumni each year who attended the McCaskey High School Campus.  Recipients are chosen by a volunteer selection committee and gauged on having achieved a level of stature within their profession or community service which students in the School District of Lancaster would wish to emulate.
