About the Wall
Recognizing those who have made a difference in the school, in the community, and beyond.
The Wall of Excellence was established in 2008 through the support and partnership of the Onalaska High School Alumni Association and the School District of Onalaska. The distinguished individuals who are inducted on to the wall represent those who have made a difference in the school, in the community, and beyond. They serve as an inspiration to the current students of Onalaska High School that life outside the walls of the school is what you make of it. It represents lifetime achievements and shows that they too can make a difference.
