Veteran's Day 2014
Alden High School is proud to honor Veterans at our annual Veterans Day Ceremony! The program takes place in the auditorium where we have a chance to hear different stories told by our honored guests. Park Street Voices and the High School Band are also in attendance as they sing and play the Star Spangled Banner and other patriotic songs.
The Veterans are allowed to travel with their student to their first and second block classes, and after the assembly, they are asked to attend a brief reception in the foyer. This is truly an amazing way to recognize those who have fought for the freedom of our country. Here are the list of the Veterans
