From World War I through the Gulf Wars, 21 members of our Pioneer Family have died while serving our country.  Over that same time frame hundreds of Batesville High School graduates have served in the National Guard or one of our military branches.  At present there is nothing on campus to honor our fellow Pioneers for their sacrifices and service.

To honor the “Pioneer 21” and to show proper respect for Pioneers who have served, proud BHS alumni & community leaders are committed to correcting this oversite by raising funds to build a veteran’s memorial, the Pioneer Patriot's Park, at the northeast entrance of Pioneer Stadium.   

Fundraising for the park will initially come from the sale of patriot engraved bricks to be purchased only by BHS alumni, school administrators, teachers, and employees currently employed at the school or retired from the school.  The engraved bricks may be purchased to honor veterans who graduated from Batesville High School and/or to honor family members who honorably served in the military regardless of where the family members went to school.  The way we see it, as a Pioneer alumnus, if they are part of your family, they are a part of the Pioneer Family.

The honor bricks will have the name of the veteran, the service branch emblem if you wish,

and the donor’s name below the Pioneer Veteran.


Be sure to select your class affiliation for placement of the honor brick as the bricks 

will be grouped by graduation year of the veteran honored or the donor. 


On the next page, please use the "Comment Section" below the virtual brick

to specify the graduating class in which you'd like your honor brick to be placed.
