We are fortunate to be members of an elite group of people who have passed through the halls of Highline High School. Many participated in music, drama, club activities, and athletics. Some combined their business training, science and math, and art of vocational studies into ventures that provided livelihood for success.

Indeed, the concrete and bricks of Highline High have become a historical landmark, but deeper still are the indelible contributions being left by those who attended this institution with a great tradition. In that light, the Highline High School Alumni Foundation has sought a way to honor former students who have given service to community, state, nation, and/or world. People who have a dedication to society, and represent the high ideals promoted by the staff(s) at Highline High. The outcome of this thinking culminated in the establishment of an annual “ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR” award given to an individual whose service reflects the qualities stated above. The recipient will be inducted each spring.

The first “ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR” is a man of many talents, interests, and undying service to our community. You have read about him putting time into the community and volunteering service to many clubs and organizations. Not only has he dedicated himself in time, monetarily, and in the spirit of voluntary work, but in the philosophy of finding a community together. Dick Dahlgard, we are proud to have you be our first Highline High School Alumni Foundation “ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR”
