 Recognition

Veterans Day

Mundelein High School traditionally recognizes Veterans Day with an all school assembly and brunch for veterans living in the surrounding communities.  This event is considered one of the largest Veterans Day recognitions in the area as it typically has over 100 veterans in attendance.  Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions and concerns with large indoor events, we are unable to have the assembly and brunch this school year.  However, we will still recognize Veterans Day by displaying American flags around the perimeter of the school and dedicating time for our students to hear a prerecorded message from one of our distinguished alumni recipients on Veterans Day.  This year’s message will be given by Ms. Deirdre Healy, retired Lieutenant Colonel, USAF.
