🇺🇸 Veterans Day Program at WCHS 🇺🇸 This morning, Washington County High School was honored to host our annual Veterans Day Program in the WCHS gymnasium to recognize and thank our local veterans for their service and sacrifice. The day began with a delicious breakfast provided by our FCCLA members for veterans and their guests. The program featured beautiful performances from our 7–12 Band, who played the Armed Forces Service Songs and The National Anthem, and our 8-12 Choir, who performed Patriotic Salute accompanied by senior trumpeter Tucker Huband. We were privileged to welcome Mr. Jonathan Matlack and Mr. Timothy Mueller as our guest speakers, both sharing powerful messages about service, honor, and community. To end the program the drawing winner was announced. The winner(Jon Cole) will be given a hand crafted wooden flag from two Woods Department students, Mayze Miller and Gatlin Willbrant. This flag will be custom engraved by Ethan Schuette for Mr Cole. Following the program, students and guests had the opportunity to visit and connect with our veterans—a meaningful way to express gratitude and learn from their experiences. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who attended and helped make this day special. Most importantly, thank you to our veterans—today and every day, we honor you. 🇺🇸
