2012 Alumni Hall of Fame at Highland Park Senior High

On Friday, October 12, two distinguished alumni were inducted into the Highland Park Senior High Alumni Hall of Fame.  Stephanie Rozman ('68), and Yia Vang ('88) were recognized for their achievements and contributions to the Highland community.

Stephanie Rozman, president of MedEval, was recognized for business achievement and community service.  Rozman founded the medical/legal services company herself, and it has grown to 60+ employees and a significant presence in three states.  Rozman has also contributed greatly to research for the cure to diabetes.

Yia Vang, a pilot for Sun Country Airlines, started his aviation career at the University of North Dakota, and also works as a flight instructor and flight tester.  He exemplifies community service in many ways also.
