From the Superintendent's desk: Veterans Day recognition

Dear Faculty, Staff, Parents, and Community Members:

This year, I am reminded of how many of our District family and community members have served in the armed forces as we hosted our Annual District Veterans Day Recognition. It is a proud time to be able to recognize so many men and women in our District family for their service and we are humbled that they have now chosen to serve the students and families in our community.

Although events to recognize our veterans efforts may be different in the schools this year due to the pandemic, I am honored to be a part of a District that continues to place great emphasis on celebrating our veterans. As a nation, we will come together to celebrate these individuals, their service, and our freedom. Its a responsibility that we should all honor and work toward preserving for generations of Americans.

I would like to send a wholehearted thank you to all veterans in the Hinds County School District family and community, especially those who are parents, guardians, mentors, role models, and educators for our students. Your service shows us the strength of our country and allows our District to educate children of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

The service and sacrifice of our countrys veterans allow us to continue to be a District of Innovation while providing an engaging and empowering environment that ensures excellence for all students.

Thank you for your service.

Delesicia Martin, ED. D.

Superintendent of Education Hinds County School District
