Etched in memory: OH Wall of Honor renewed
At the beginning of February, what students had come to know as the Wall of Honor, had become an empty wall. In a short amount of time, they would see the active construction of the new, modern take on the OH star-spangled Wall of Honor.
“It was time to look to something a little bit more modern with digital imaging,” said OH Assistant Principal and head football coach Brian Cooney, who was recently honored at the Navy All-American Bowl game.
The Wall of Honor is a memorial next to the main office and door 36 to honor OH alum who chose military service after high school. The Wall serves a similar purpose as others within the school, like the many that show athletic or educational excellence; those who choose the military path are shown the same recognition. The old Wall of Honor held eight frames with 5x6 rows lined with pictures of past alumni, featuring a total of 240 past or current military members.
“[The Wall of Honor is] to pay respects for those who went into the military and defended our country, and did what they needed to do to give us the freedoms that we have here in America,” said Cooney.
