Nomination Criteria
Living or deceased graduates, faculty, administrators, and supporters of Fountain Valley’s fine arts are eligible for induction into the Arts Guild. The FVS Fine Arts program encompasses both the visual and performing arts. Qualifications for nominee evaluation will include their involvement and achievements in the Fine Arts while at FVS, as well those with accomplishments that occurred after graduation. Both individual and ensemble/group accomplishments and awards will be taken into account, as well as the impact on ensembles and the overall fine arts program. Under special circumstances, a candidate who didn’t participate in an FVS-sanctioned art form can be accepted if they have achieved recognition away from FVS. They must be in good standing, have conducted themselves in such a way as to reflect honor on the school, and must have exhibited those qualities of character and standards of conduct consistent with their status as a role model to the community.
Special consideration will be given to nominees who are graduates of reunion milestone years.
