Awards / Hall of Fame: 
Criteria for the Alumni Special Recognition are good standing in the community,
community involvement and achievement.  The Alumni Association now also gives
an Honorary Alumnus(i) Award at the annual Alumni dinner.  The criteria are
similar to those for the special recognition, but need not be Pike alumni.  Several
retired teachers, MSD employees and others with service to the Pike community
have been so honored.
