The Tucson High Badger Foundation wants to expand its Walkway of Honor to include engraved bricks for veterans from the school’s entire 117-year-history, including the past 99 years at its current location on Sixth Street and Euclid Avenue.The foundation started honoring Tucson High’s veterans in 2019, with a display of engraved bricks for each of the 143 former students who were killed in World War II, including at least three members of the school’s 1940 football team.
“You just have to be a Tucson High vet,” said Strutz, who is a Badger only by way of attending the University of Wisconsin but is married to Tucson High graduate Margie Navarro Strutz from the class of 1964. The foundation also oversees a second section of Badger Bricks engraved with the names of other Tucson High graduates and supporters who aren’t necessarily veterans.
The endowment also provides grants to the school and its teachers for special projects or basic operations and assistance to individual students who need help paying the fees for school activities.
