The distinguished individuals included Rashed Fakhruddin, Harry Allen and Anne Lowry Russell.
Fakhruddin is an engineering supervisor for the Nashville Electric Service and has two children who attend Belmont University.

All of the honorees are graduates of a Metro Nashville high school and have been involved in several notable Nashville organizations.

A ceremony was held by the Nashville Public Education Foundation on October 2 where the Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented by Belmont University President Dr. Bob Fisher.
The Nashville Public Education Foundation also named almost 200 people to the event host committee who are standouts as leaders in Nashville and in education. This list included Dr. and Mrs. Fisher and several others linked to the university.
