On May 27, NCHS hosted its ninth annual Memorial Day Veterans’ Symposium in the auditorium to honor of all the veterans in New Canaan and surrounding areas.
The assembly covered periods one and six and was a great success. Students from all grades came to honor the veterans. “This has been our biggest event ever, with over 180 veterans in attendance who fought in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq,” secretary Lynda Pescatello said.
A salute to the Forgotten War

On Wednesday, Nov. 10, NCHS played host to the Veterans Day Assembly. The assembly was conducted in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Korean War and the 235th anniversary of the Marine Corps. The Korean War earned the title “the Forgotten War” due to its unpopularity during the 1950’s. However, America’s participation in the Korean War helped South Korea become the prosperous, thriving nation that it is today. “I don’t want it to be the Forgotten War. I want students to remember the sacrifices many Americans made,” Principal Tony Pavia said.
