This outdoor classroom and memorial pavilion will honor ten Heights High School alumni who proudly served our country during war time and paid the ultimate sacrifice. It will be a multi-purpose area for the school, serving as an outdoor classroom on nice weather days, an AFJROTC Raider Challenge base, and a meeting space that can be reserved.  It will also serve as a place of reflection for our Falcon Families and Community to use when school is not in session.  

The project goal of $195,000 will cover all costs for the project including but not limited to, the building structure, concrete, electrical, granite memorial and labor. The outdoor classroom was conceptualized as a collaboration between Heights faculty, alumni, and family members of the honored fallen.
