Per a recent announcement, Cape Hatteras Secondary School (CHSS) will be bringing back the annual Veterans Celebration for 2022. The annual tradition for the school and community has been canceled for the past two years due to COVID-19 and related safety protocols. The program is designed to honor all area veterans as well as to remember the veterans that have passed away in the past year.
This year’s program will be Wednesday, November 9, 2022. The celebration is open to all area veterans and active-duty servicemen and women.
The day will begin at 9:00 a.m. in the CHSS cafeteria where the veterans will be able to visit and catch up and they will be served breakfast prepared by the CHSS Foods and Nutrition classes.
At 9:45 a.m. the group will move to the school gymnasium where at approximately 10:00 a.m., they will be honored by students, faculty, the CHSS band, a guest speaker, and community members. The names of recently deceased area veterans will be read and the CHSS graduates that are currently serving in the Armed Forces will be recognized.
“We look forward to this wonderful day to honor those that keep us free,” stated Keith Durham in the announcement.
