Honorees are selected who bring pride and inspiration to the RCSD, the community and society as a whole. They exemplify the tradition of excellence fostered by the RCSD and reinforce to current students the importance of a sound educational foundation.

Nomination categories include: 1) profession, trade, business and industry; 2) community service; 3) cultural endeavor such as art, music, dance, theater or literature, and 4) charitable contribution on the local, state, national or international level.
