🇺🇸 Remembering 9/11 🇺🇸
This morning, we were honored to hear our very own Cadet Mackinsey McMillen speak on 9/11. We also stopped by Mr. Altman’s history class, where students received a powerful lesson on that tragic day.
'Together, we remember 9/11—honoring the past, and carrying its lessons forward. Today and always, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who served, and the resilience of our nation.**
