Today, on Veterans Day, our deepest gratitude extends beyond our walls to every veteran in our community and across the nation.
Our students had the privilege of celebrating the service and sacrifice of many local heroes today, recognizing that the commitment to duty impacts us all. We value not only the dedication of the veterans on our staff but the courage shown by parents, neighbors, and friends who have answered the call to serve.
To all veterans: Thank you for the freedom we cherish. Your legacy of service and honor inspires our students every single day.
