Camp Hill High School Alumni and Staff Wall of Honor Program

​In 2012, The Lion Foundation created the Camp Hill Alumni and Staff Wall of Honor to pay tribute to graduates and staff who inspire our students, faculty and community members with achievements in their chosen careers and/or contributions to their country or community in a wide spectrum of areas. Since that time we have recognized several outstanding alumni who have one thing in common: they began their journey here in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania! The honorees include:

• Dr. Bill Phillips (Class of ’66), Nobel Prize Winning Physicist
• Dr. Edward Harris (Class of ’54) practitioner, researcher, lecturer and author in Rheumatology
• Dr. James Forrester (Class of ’55), nationally-renowned cardiologist
• ​Phyllis Shearer Mowery (Class of ’49), community leader
• Chad Gallaher (Class of '87), Camp Hill Middle School teacher 
• Essie Witmer, Camp Hill Elementary School teacher 

“With just 70 kids in the class of ‘55, Camp Hill High allowed so many of us to be a big fish in a small pond at a crucial time in our youth. My own good fortune was to be president of the student body, editor of the school newspaper and a starter on our basketball team. I believe that those small school experiences imbued us with the self-confidence to confront the new challenges of adulthood.”
– Dr. James Forrester, Class of 1955 and 2014 Camp Hill Alumni and Staff Wall of Honor Recipient
