Outstanding Alumni Award
Over 28,000 alumni have graduated from Adrian High School since 1857. Many of these graduates have distinguished themselves in their professional careers and/or service to their community and country. These notable graduates are a source of encouragement to our present students and they bring honor to Adrian Public Schools and the staff who taught and nurtured them. Our annual awards ceremony is an inspirational evening beaming with Maple spirit. Please join us each year on the Thursday evening before Homecoming to honor our outstanding alumni and teacher/mentors.

Outstanding Teacher/Mentor Award
The Outstanding Teacher & Mentor Award was initiated with a generous grant from Terrence Keeley of the AHS class of 1977, who wanted to provide a way to recognize APS employees who have been exemplary teachers and mentors. Each year three APS staff members are selected as Outstanding Teachers/Mentors and receive a stipend as part of their recognition.
Now preparing for our 18th year, Outstanding Teachers & Mentors are awarded in conjunction with the Adrian High School Alumni Association's Outstanding Alumni Awards given annually the Thursday evening of Homecoming week. A reception and an inspiring awards ceremony is held in honor of these outstanding Maples. Please join us!
