The "Wall of Honor" is an area set aside at the school that honors SHS alumni who have excelled in their chosen fields.

For example, former major league pitcher Rob Dibble, an SHS grad who starred on the 1990 world champion Cincinnati Reds, has a photo plaque and a biography listed on the "Wall of Honor."
