In 2001, Calgary Board of Education (CBE) Trustees established the Distinguished Alumni Award to formally acknowledge graduates whose public education background has enabled them to reach their goals and become extraordinary role models for future generations due to their outstanding achievements and contributions to the community through their work and philanthropy.
2013/14 recipients of the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) Distinguished Alumni Award are Brian Felesky C.M., Q.C., a graduate of William Aberhart High School and Stephanie Felesky, a graduate of Henry Wise Wood High School.
