Honoring Our Veterans
Milton Middle School is proud to honor our nation’s heroes.
In the month of November, we create a special Wall of Remembrance, featuring photos and names of veterans connected to our school community.
To continue this tradition of honor and respect, we will hold a
Veterans Day Assembly on Friday, November 7th, to recognize and thank all who have served.
Please support our Veterans Service Project. See the flyers below for more information.
Purple Star Award
In addition, Milton Middle is proud to be a Purple Star Award recipient, recognized by the West Virginia Department of Education as a military-friendly school for our ongoing support of military families.
