HS/JH Daily Announcements
Announcements 11/11/2025
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as the "Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11 became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars. Today we honor our veterans, and we thank them for protecting the freedoms that we are so blessed to experience here in our country. We thank all of our Villa graduates serving in the military and the military academies.
