Burke Alumni Hall of Fame

Each year, Burke Alumni Association recognizes Burke alumni who have excelled in their chosen fields. If there is a Burke grad that you’d like to nominate, please let us know!

The Outstanding Alumni Award (Burke Alumni Hall of Fame) is presented to an alumnus who has made outstanding contributions in one or more of the following ways:

  • Exceptional accomplishment in chosen field.
  • Exceptional service in local, state or national affairs.
  • Exceptional service in support of the advancement and continued excellence of Burke High School and/or Omaha Public Schools.

Please include thorough documentation about your nomination. The Burke Alumni Association is a non-profit with limited resources and unfortunately note enough time to research each candidate. Please be thorough in your submission so your candidate has a good chance of being nominated.
