Wall of Honor

Recognizing Our Military

Military Wall of Honor

Our goal is to include as many Anthony Wayne graduates and staff on the Wall of Honor as we possibly can. If you or someone you know graduated or worked for AWLS, and has served in a branch of the United States Armed Forces, please let us know. Their name, graduation/employment year(s) and military branch will be prominently displayed on a Wall of Honor in the high school as a form of recognition and remembrance.  

Staff and graduates will be included from Monclova High School, Waterville High School, and Whitehouse High School prior to the first graduating class of Anthony Wayne High School in 1951.  


Nominations submitted before September 15, 2026 will be considered for the fall 2026 class of inductees.
