On this special day, I wanted to take a moment to recognize the tremendous job Brian Howe and his students did in putting on the 5th annual Veterans Day Ceremony. This years ceremony was the biggest yet, with 47 local veterans and 600 plus students in attendance. I would also like to extend a special thank you to LHS teacher and Veteran Derek Rupp for his inspirational speech about the experience of serving our country. Many of the veterans expressed their gratitude to the students and shared with the staff how impressed they were by the students of LHS. One veteran in particular shared the following:
"You know, I didn't have a very good opinion of the youth of America. After today, I was wrong. There is hope."
Thank you Brian Howe, Derek Rupp, local Veterans and LHS students for a wonderful ceremony!
