Students, Families, and Evansville Community,

On Monday, November 11, 🇺🇸 Evansville High School and the VFW will be hosting our annual Veterans Day Ceremony in the high school gymnasium. This Evansville tradition of honoring our local veterans is unique for Southern Wisconsin and is one of the largest and most vibrant Veterans Day ceremonies in the state.

This meaningful event brings attention to the primary purpose of Veterans Day—to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of our country, and their willingness to sacrifice for all of us. While we recognize our veterans with ceremonies and speeches on this special day, it’s also a great reminder to seek ways we can honor them throughout the year. Volunteering with organizations that help veterans, supporting veteran-owned businesses, and donating to veterans’ causes are just a few ways to show gratitude year-round. 💙❤️

Veterans and their families are welcome to arrive at 8:15 a.m. for ☕️ coffee and 🍩 donuts in the Evansville High School Commons. The ceremony will begin at 9:00 a.m. and will last approximately one hour.
