2021 Dukes of Distinction Program
YDAP PRogram Honors York Alumni

Display leadership characteristics through achievement of significant and/or extraordinary accomplishments or service
Have made an outstanding contribution to society
Serve as a positive influence while exemplifying the honored York traditions of teamwork and selflessness
Embody the ideals of YHS and School District 205, therefore bringing pride and prestige to the school, the District and the community
The exemplary alumni who receive the York Distinguished Alumni Award will raise self-expectation among the current students through their realization that these "Dukes of Distinction" once walked the halls of York High School and the streets of this community.
