Distinguished Alumni
For over 100 years, Cullman City Schools have enjoyed an enviable reputation for high academic standards and an enlightened vision which fosters the pursuit of excellence. This excellence is found in the high caliber of faculty, the ability to meet the needs of students from widely varied backgrounds, and a high level of parent and community support. This reputation has been confirmed over the years by the outstanding and remarkable achievements of Cullman High School graduates.
These awards have been established to recognize and honor the accomplishments of our outstanding graduates, community supporters and promising CCS graduates. By celebrating these role models, the CCS Foundation hopes to inspire today's students to follow their own pursuit of excellence.
