Manchester High Students Invite Veterans To Ceremony

Local veterans have been invited to participate in the 12th annual Manchester Township High School Veterans Recognition Ceremony, set to mark Veterans Day in the school district.

The service is set for 2:10 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12, at Manchester Township High School. It is set for the day after the official federal holiday to avoid conflicts with other Veterans Day event.

“This way, our veterans do not have to choose between our ceremony and being recognized someplace else,” said Jill O’Cone, the ceremony organizer.

Veterans who would like to participate are asked to arrive by 1:50 p.m. to get pre-registered for the event, which will be held in the auditorium of the high school, located at 101 South Colonial Drive.

Staff, students and community members are invited to help honor local veterans at this event. All local veterans are invited to come and be recognized at the ceremony. Veterans should plan to arrive at 1:50 to pre-register.

“I am excited to announce that the MTHS Hawk Hall of Honor will be officially kicked off at this year’s ceremony,” Ocone said. “Once established, anyone who graduated from MTHS and served in the military is welcome to apply to be included. More details will be announced at the ceremony. There will be a fund-raiser coming to help us raise money to purchase frames and prints.”
