What is the Alumni Wall of Distinction?
The Schalmont High School Alumni Wall of Distinction was established during the district’s 50th anniversary celebrations to honor alumni who have made significant contributions to their school, community and/or country. Wall of Distinction honorees serve as role models for our students and as symbols of the high caliber of graduates produced by our district. Their examples are intended to inspire and motivate our students to excel, both in academics and in life.
