The Danvers Hometown Salute Initiative is led by three dedicated Danvers High School students: Chase Richmond, Haley Liporto, and Ari Fajardo. Each of these students is deeply committed to their academics, consistently striving for excellence in the classroom while also taking on leadership roles in a variety of extracurricular activities, from athletics to student organizations. Beyond their academic and school involvement, each member of the team has a personal connection to the veteran community—whether through family members who have served or close ties with those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our country. Their shared respect and gratitude for local veterans fuel their passion to create a project that not only honors service, but also brings the community together in meaningful ways.
