Ruston High School is honoring several distinguished alumni and two educators during Homecoming Week with an awards luncheon on Friday, October 10, at the DAC from 12-1:30 p.m.
This year’s Distinguished Alumni include Reggie McLeroy (Class of 1980), Jeff Miller (Class of 2002), Richard Raue (Class of 1993), and Pamela Stewart (Class of 1985) while the Young Alumni of Distinction include David Cole (Class of 2004) and Dr. Trey Hanna (Class of 2009).
Kelsey Whitlock (ELA teacher/ACT Prep coordinator) is this year’s current Ruston High educator that will be honored while Tommy Hay (Class of 1968) is the Retired RHS educator.
“This year’s class of inductees is top-notch,” said According to RHS Alumni Association President Heather Reeder. “Each one of them has left their mark on Ruston High and given back to our students and community. They are from all walks of life showing our current Bearcats that there are so many places an RHS education can take you.”
The Distinguished Awards program began over 20 years ago and was brought back last year after a seven-year hiatus. The luncheon will be a time to honor these individuals and have them share a little about what Ruston High means to them.
Last year the event drew its largest attendance on record. Tickets are on sale through Friday, October 3 through GoFan. This can be done through the GoFan app or online. Tickets are $40 each or $300 for a table of 8.
