The Charlotte Latin School Distinguished Alumnus Award was established in 2008 by the Charlotte Latin School Alumni Association and Alumni Governing Board. 

The Charlotte Latin School Distinguished Alumnus Award recognizes a Charlotte Latin Alumnus whose outstanding achievements and extraordinary service have distinguished himself.  The recipient shall conduct himself with strong character and high honor and is a role model for today's Charlotte Latin students.

The Distinguished Alumnus Award shall be open to any alumnus who graduated not less than ten years prior to that nomination year.  Nominations will be accepted from all alumni and current faculty members.

Each year the Alumni Governing Board appoints a Distinguished Alumnus Award committee which includes the President of the Alumni Governing Board, two other members of the Alumni Governing Board, the Director of Alumni Affairs, the Headmaster, one upper school faculty member and one member of the senior class.
