On November 11, our students, staff, and community came together for a deeply moving Veterans Day program to thank the brave men and women who have served our country.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this special tribute possible:

- Decatur County Veterans from American Legion Post #80 for presenting the colors to open the ceremony.

- Elementary Principal Amy Whittington for welcoming our honored guests.

- The Central Decatur High School Band for their stirring performances of the National Anthem and A Patriotic Trilogy.

- Our 3rd–6th Grade Chorus for singing Armed Forces Salute and presenting flags to the veterans in attendance.

- High School Student Council Co-Presidents Lola Helton and Aubri Perkins for sharing powerful words on how we can honor our veterans by listening, remembering, and showing appreciation.

- The High School Choir for their touching rendition of Blades of Grass and Pure White Stones.

- Guest Speaker Corporal Kyle Dupuis for inspiring our students with his message on the core values of honor, discipline, and always looking out for the person next to you.

We closed the program with a special slideshow honoring our local veterans—a wonderful reminder of the sacrifices made right here in our own community.

Thank you to all veterans for your service, courage, and dedication!
