The Wall of Honor is Phase I of the Riverside Veterans Memorial Project. Phase II of the project is to list all the names of Riverside students and staff who have ever served in the military on an interactive kiosk that will be located inside the Riverside High School's main lobby. Donations are still being accepted to offset the costs for the second phase.
The Riverside Veterans Memorial project has been made possible by countless donations from local businesses, organizations and individuals.
