JOIN THE COURAGEOUS CAVALIERS
Legacy of Excellence Through Service
The Chicago Vocational High School (CVS) Hall of Fame proudly honors the generations of Cavaliers whose achievements have brought distinction to our school, our communities, and our nation. Among our distinguished alumni are countless men and women who answered the call to serve in the United States Armed Forces. Their stories reflect courage, sacrifice, leadership, discipline, and an enduring commitment to something greater than themselves.
The Courageous Cavaliers Military List is a dedicated space created by the CVS Hall of Fame to recognize and preserve the military legacy of our Cavaliers. This living tribute honors CVS alumni who have served, those who are currently being recognized, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
Sponsor a Future Leader:
If you would like to sponsor a CVS JROTC Cadet for $5.00 to be added to our Courageous Cavaliers Military List, you may do so. Each Cadet is building a legacy of leadership, and supporting them is both a meaningful accomplishment and a powerful way to honor them as a CVS alumni.
🔒 Your sponsorship will remain anonymous.
To protect the privacy and identity of our students, the names of individual sponsors will not be publicly associated with the cadet they sponsor.

A Legacy Worth Remembering
The Courageous Cavaliers Military List is more than a list of names. It is a record of service, a celebration of courage, and a bridge between generations. We honor the Cavaliers who wore the uniform, recognize those who continue to serve, and preserve the stories of those who came before us so that future generations will know the legacy they left behind.
One School. One Family. Many Stories. One Legacy.
We remember. We honor. We salute.
