Celebrating FM Alumni Who Give Back

2021 Alumni Dinner

Honoring FM’s Alumni Who Make a Difference

Every once in a while, someone walks into your life—or your community—and leaves it better than they found it. That’s the spirit behind the Distinguished Alumni Dinner.

We’d love for you to join us.

On Thursday, November 6th, we’ll gather at the Johnstown Holiday Inn to honor graduates whose work, heart, and legacy continue to ripple through the lives of others.

Do You Know Someone Who Deserves the Spotlight?

Maybe it’s a friend, a former classmate, a mentor. Maybe it’s someone quietly doing the work—volunteering, leading, creating, lifting others up. If you know an FM alum who’s making an impact, we want to hear about them.

We’re now accepting nominations for both the Distinguished Alumni Award and the Clocktower Award. This is your chance to say, “Thank you,” in a way that matters.

This Dinner Isn’t Just an Event. It’s a Homecoming.

It’s a chance to slow down, share a meal, and reflect on the good that’s happening right here in our community. The evening kicks off with a warm and welcoming social hour at 5:00 PM, followed by dinner and award presentations starting at 6:00 PM.

It’s a night full of heartfelt stories, well-earned applause, and connections that span generations. Whether you’re a proud FM graduate, a supporter of local education, or someone who simply believes in recognizing the quiet heroes among us—this evening is for you.
