The Ottawa High School Wall of Honor was created in the Spring of 1997. the program began as an outgrowth of the OHS Renaissance Program, created by OHS math teacher, Gary Kuntz. Kuntz presented the proposal for the Wall of Honor to the Ottawa High School Principal, District Superintendent, OHS Student Council and the USD 290 Board of Education. With approval from these groups, the Wall of Honor became the highest honor Ottawa High School can bestow upon a graduate.
