WTHS to Welcome 12 Graduates into School's Military Hall of Honor
Washington Township High School Principal Ann Moore will welcome 12 Washington Township High School graduates, who have served or are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces, into the school’s Military Hall of Honor during an induction ceremony on Monday, May 22, 2017, at 6 p.m. in the school’s Quay Way (WTHS/11-12 wing), in advance of the Memorial Day holiday. Lt. Col. Barbara McCormick (U.S. Air Force retired) will serve as the keynote speaker for the patriotic event that includes the participation of District administration and Board of Education members, local Veterans groups, the WTHS Junior ROTC cadets, and WTHS student-musicians. In the event of inclement weather, the program will be moved inside to the WTHS Play House (11/12 auditorium).
The Washington Township High School Military Hall of Honor was established in the spring semester of 2004 to honor graduates who chose to serve their country as members of the United States Military Services. Located in the school’s 11/12 Building, inductees are listed by year of induction and in the order in which they were added to the Hall of Honor. The plaques are positioned in numerical order when entering D-Hall from A-Hall. The Class of 2017 inductees brings the Hall’s total number of honorees to 175.
