Alumni Award
The success of an academic institution is best exemplified by the positive impact of its graduates. The CEEF Alumni Award seeks to identify recipients who, through their dedication and perseverance, have made significant contributions to their communities, professions, or society as a whole. We hope the recipient will motivate graduates to seek excellence in school-related pursuits and in the future in their careers, families, and communities.
If you would like to nominate someone for the 2024 award, please fill out our nomination form to submit their name.
Please join us in congratulating the 2024 Recipients of the CEEF Alumni Award!
For 2024, CEEF chose to honor not one, but many – the graduates of Cape Elizabeth who have returned to their hometown to teach and inspire the next generation of Capers! In 2023, this included 23 alumni across the district. These include teachers at all three schools, Ed techs, and Administration. CEEF wanted to recognize the dedication and unique perspective these alumni bring to students. We also extend our thanks to those alumni who have worked in the district before 2023 and helped make Cape schools, and our town, better for all students.
