Noblesville High School hosted a Veteran’s Day event on Thursday, Nov. 9. The event was planned and led by the junior class in alignment with their U.S. History curriculum. Local veterans attended the ceremony, as did Mayor John Ditslear, State Representative Kathy Richardson, State Senator Victoria Spartz and Noblesville Schools Superintendent Dr. Beth Niedermeyer.
In addition to recognizing the contributions of all veterans through speeches and musical performances, Vietnam veteran James Arney was also honored at the ceremony with the presentation of his NHS diploma. Arney left NHS in 1974 prior to graduating to serve in Vietnam. Under Indiana code, an honorably discharged veteran who leaves school prior to graduation for military service may apply for this special accommodation.
Other Noblesville schools throughout the district are also honoring Veteran’s Day with student/family programs.
