Wall of Honor Project
Over the past year at Eastport South Manor Junior-Senior High School, a committee of students, parents, teachers and administrators have been meeting to decide on an appropriate manner in which the community could honor the students that voluntarily enter the military upon their graduation from the high school. The ESM community has decided to construct a Wall of Honor as a means to express their gratitude to the courageous alumni serving in the United States Armed Forces. This wall is designed to recognize graduates from the first graduation class (2004) to the present. The names of future graduates whom enter the military will also have their names added to the Wall of Honor. In order to support its construction, volunteers are in the process of raising $60,000.
