Radnor High School Wall Of Fame Open To Public Tuesday

WAYNE, PA – On Tuesday, Nov. 7, Radnor High School is opening its doors to the public so you can see the award-winning local veterans Wall of Honor in the school's lobby ahead of Veterans Day on Nov. 11.

The school will welcome guests to the Wall of Honor all day, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 7.

The Wall of Honor commemorates the 57 Radnor High School graduates who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country while serving in the military.

The memorial wall, located in the main lobby, was unveiled in May 2016 and is completely funded by donations.

The memorial includes a plaque, a mounted interactive touchscreen where visitors can learn more about each of the inductees, and a flag box for each brave veteran from RHS who lost his or her life in conflict, the district said.

The public has several other chances to see the wall this academic year. They are:

• Tuesday, Nov. 21, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Thursday, Jan. 25, noon t0 3 p.m.
• Friday, Jan. 26, noon to 3 p.m.
• Friday, Feb. 16, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Tuesday, May 15, 8 a.m to 3 p.m.

The idea for the Wall of Honor was born in one of Radnor High School's Senior Seminar classes during the 2014-15 school year. According to the school district, local students wanted to find a way to commemorate veterans from the school who had made the ultimate sacrifice.

With the help of Marty Costello, Commander of Delaware County for the American Legion, the project grew into a labor of love for staff members, alumni, local veterans and community members, according to the district.

RHS students researched the inductees' lives and histories to create short films on each inductee that are accessible via the touchscreen, the district said.

The wall even earned the Radnor Township School District Communications team a national award.

In June this year, the comms team won the Golden Achievement award from the National School Public Relations Association for it's work on developing and launching the wall.

Radnor High School is located at 130 King of Prussia Road, Wayne.
