Mundelein High School will celebrate Veterans’ Day with a number of activities to honor veterans and to educate the student population about the history of the day. At this time, about 12 veterans are expected to take part.

“It is our belief that by having students in school on this day that we are able to help the students appreciate what veterans have done to maintain our freedoms,” said Kevin Myers, District 120 superintendent.  “ If students were not in school, we can't be sure they would be recognizing the day at all,” he said. Highlights of the day will include:

Veterans will be met at the staff entrance to the building at 7:20 am. They will be greeted by the MHS Drumline who will march the veterans around the school.

·         7:45 am – Opening announcement about the day and special recognition of two staff members who are veterans: Kevin Quinn, director of building and ground; Krista Alloy, security staff. The MHS Master Singers will then sing the National Anthem over the PA system for all to join in.

·         7:45 – 9:15 am – Veterans will speak in various social studies classes

·         9:15 am – Brunch for the visiting veterans.

·         3:15 pm – Taps will be played over the PA system in honor of fallen veterans
