On this Veterans Day, we pause to recognize and express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our nation—especially those who are now integral members of the MCSD family.
The commitment, discipline, and teamwork honed during your military service are invaluable assets to our school district. Your sacrifice did not end when you took off the uniform; you continue to serve our students and families each and every day.
Thank you for your service to our country, and thank you for your continued dedication to our communities and schools. We are honored to have you as part of our school district team.
