Veterans Memorial
Our classmates may be gone, but they will never be forgotten.
Northshore School District and a dedicated group of community members worked together to create a memorial honoring Northshore students who gave their lives serving in the United States Military. The memorial was built near the entrance to Pop Keeney Stadium and is comprised of a granite monument and bench.
The Monument
The monument is a curved granite wall made up of three sections. Names of fallen soldiers are engraved on the left and right sections. The front middle section is engraved:
"In Memory of our fallen Northshore School District classmates who lost their lives fighting for our country. They gave the ultimate sacrifice, and we will be forever thankful.
In Honor of the men and women from Northshore School District who have served honorably and courageously to protect our freedoms and liberties while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States."
The back middle section will be engraved with "Our classmates may be gone, but they will never be forgotten."
Dedication Ceremony
The memorial was dedicated on May 27, 2019.
