Each year, our school district is proud to host Veteran's Day events in every school recognizing the importance and honoring the sacrifices made by our current and former military community members. In addition to annual recognition events, Westfall Local Schools actively works with local veteran service organizations in order to award diplomas to veterans who were unable to complete high school due to their military service obligations.
