Today, we pause to observe Veterans Day, a national opportunity to honor and thank all the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. This day is dedicated to recognizing their selfless commitment, immense sacrifices, and unwavering defense of our freedoms. We owe them a debt of gratitude that we can never truly repay.

The spirit of service is strong within our own community, and we are incredibly proud that several members of our dedicated staff are U.S. military veterans. These individuals bring invaluable experience, leadership, and discipline to our school every single day.

Please join us in recognizing and thanking the following faculty and staff members for their service:

Mr. Bishop
Mr. Drinnon
Mr. Gallina
Mr. John Good
Mr. La Voie
Major Sessis
First Sergeant Wilcox

Gentlemen, your time in uniform is a profound example of dedication, and we are privileged to have you as mentors and educators.
