Families looking at the wall of honor hanging at Pop Keeney

Wall of Honor

The Wall of Honor was created to recognize the outstanding achievements of Northshore School District alumni, staff and volunteers who made significant contributions to our community, state, nation or world. The wall was unveiled on September 15, 2010 at the north end of Pop Keeney Stadium.
