Wall of Distinction

The Canastota High School Wall of Distinction honors graduates who have made exceptional contributions in their fields and communities. Inductees are recognized for achievements in their profession, athletics, community service, commerce, the arts, and beyond.
This recognition not only celebrates the accomplishments of our alumni but also inspires current students and fosters a strong sense of pride within the Canastota community.
Nomination Information:
Nominations for the Wall of Distinction must be submitted by February 1 each year. Inductees will be announced at the alumni banquet in June and honored at a celebration dinner in mid-October.
The nomination form can be found at the District Office or click this link here.
