The Veterans Wall of Honor was created to honor and recognize all Fruitport Community Schools graduates who have honorably served in the United States Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, National Guard, Navy, and/or Space Force. This service includes enlistment, commissioning as an officer, service in the National Guard, or in the Reserves.

When unveiled on November 11, 2024 (Veterans Day), the Wall of Honor will be visible just outside of the Performing Arts Center at Fruitport High School. The exhibit will be be an interactive touchscreen display that will allow us to easily add names to our display, while serving as an everyday reminder to all of those who walk the hallways of Fruitport High School of the freedoms that we enjoy, and of the graduates of Fruitport that have honorably served our country in uniform to protect those freedoms.
