Presented here is a virtual “Wall of Honor” as a tribute honoring past Salem High School graduates who have served their country as members of the United States Military. 

Copies of these photos are on display in the Salem High School Granville S. Thomas Learning Resource Center (The Library).  

Our goal is to recognize all graduates who have served their nation in any of the Military Services.  If you served or are serving in the military and are a former graduate, we would be honored to add your name to the Wall of Honor.  Family members may forward a picture and information on behalf of the service member.
