Let's Honor Our Veterans!
Veterans Day is coming up, and we want to celebrate the heroes in our own families! We are creating our annual Veterans Day Slideshow and invite you to share a photo and information about a veteran in your immediate family—a mother, father, brother, sister, step-parent, or step-sibling. This is a wonderful way to honor their service and sacrifice. It will be featured on our own HTHS TV Announcements as well as our Newsletter. Just click the link below to submit their details and a picture. Please be sure to do so by October 24, 2025. We can't wait to see your submissions and honor our local heroes.
