Licking Heights Local Schools is seeking the names of alumni who are also veterans of the armed forces for their Honor Wall project at the high school.

Licking Heights Local Schools is looking to honor all alumni who are veterans of the United States armed forces with an Honor Wall at Licking Heights High School. Veterans of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard and National Guard who also graduated from Licking Heights are invited to submit their name for inclusion.

The district requests that if you or someone you know graduated from Licking Heights and served in the Armed Forces, to please let the high school know by filling out an online form or emailing awilson@lhschools.org.

Aimee Wilson, high school social studies teacher and Model UN advisor, is serving as the faculty director of this project. The Fabrication (Fab) Lab at Licking Heights will create dog tags for each alumni veteran with their name and branch of service on them. The dog tags will then be hung on a large flag displayed in the cafeteria.

The Honor Wall was unveiled to the community at the high school’s annual Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 8 and currently includes more than 100 alumni veterans. With this project, the district hopes to honor all alumni who served and inspire current high school students to consider enrolling in the armed forces following graduation.
