The Distinguished Alumni Award (DAA) program was established in 1989 to honor outstanding individuals who attended or graduated from Kenosha High School/Mary D. Bradford High School.  That first year, 10 recipients were honored at the Annual Alumni Banquet in June 1990.  This award represents people from many areas of society who have contributed significantly to their profession and are positive role models for Bradford High School students.

Each year, the Kenosha Bradford High School Alumni Association, Inc. (KBHSAA) presents the DAA to selected individuals, honoring them at its annual Alumni Banquet and Silent Auction (proceeds of the auction benefit the KBHSAA Scholarship Fund).

DAA recipient plaques are on display at Bradford High School in the Auditorium hallway… check them out next time you visit the school!
