🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes this Veterans Day 🇺🇸
Today, we pause to recognize and thank all who have served our nation, with special gratitude for two exceptional members of our Graduate Arkansas team who exemplify service both in uniform and in education.
Principal Kerri McNeal, Trooper Brandon Love and Major Krystle Browning answered our country's call to serve in the United States military, demonstrating courage, dedication, and selfless commitment to protecting our freedoms. Now, they continue their service right here at Graduate Arkansas, shaping futures and making a difference in the lives of our students every day.
Their military experience brings invaluable leadership, discipline, and perspective to our school community. We are privileged to work alongside these American heroes who chose to continue serving - this time in the classroom and hallways where they inspire our students to reach their full potential.
To Principal McNeal, Trooper Love, Major Browning and all veterans: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued dedication to making our community stronger.
