Garinger High School, Charlotte North Carolina

Vietnam Memorial

The Vietnam Memorial was dedicated on August 8, 2014 honoring 15 Garinger students who were killed in action in the Vietnam War.  It was rededicated May 22, 2016 with names of three newly-discovered sons of Central High School and Garinger High School: William Johnson, Steve Kerley and Dickie Pettit

We have Pavers available for purchase at the Vietnam Memorial.  This is a wonderful opportunity to honor a loved one, a favorite teacher, or friend.  All proceeds go to benefit the students and staff of Garinger High School.
