The W. Robert Brown Outstanding Graduate Award is presented annually coinciding with the Andalusia High School Homecoming festivities.  The Committee presents a certificate and a commemorative gift to the honoree at a reception at Andalusia City Hall.  The recipients are then honored during the Andalusia High School Homecoming Parade. In addition, the recipient will receive an honorary membership in the Class of 1948 Foundation.  Honorees who cannot attend the reception to receive the honor will be inducted during a future reception.

​

Originally named the Outstanding Graduate Award, the first award was presented in 2007 to W. Robert Brown, a graduate of Andalusia High School, Class of 1948. Subsequently, this award was renamed in honor of Mr. Brown in recognition of his many contributions to Andalusia High School, including his donations that helped establish the Heritage Room at Andalusia High School, which provides a secure place for the school’s valuable memorabilia.
