Local school honors veterans in a very special way

By John T. Ryan

Ellenburg Depot – As you enter the main entrance of Northern Adirondack Central Middle/High School (NACS) it’s hard not to notice the photos to your right. The photos are part of a Wall of Honor dedicated to men and women who graduated or attended NACS and are serving or have served in the United States military. It’s virtually impossible to walk by the wall without stopping, looking and reading.

The Wall of Honor is a community service project of the student NACS Key Club. Each year, at a date near to Veterans Day, Key Club students conduct a ceremony honoring veterans who have earned a place on the wall.

Key Club co-advisor Cindy Hoff discussed the wall’s origins. “Two years ago my son was in the U.S. Army and was deployed to Afghanistan. It got me thinking of ways to honor men and women in our military services. The Key Club accepted the Wall of Honor as one of its community service projects.”

Cindy Hoff pointed out that there are many more men and women eligible for inclusion on the wall. A Honor Wall honoree must have attended or graduated from one of the four schools comprising the NACS District – Ellenburg, Altona, Lyon Mountain and Churubusco. He or she must be serving or have served in the United States military.

The following information must be submitted to Key Club Advisors Cindy Hoff or DeAnn Gregory at Northern Adirondack Central School, P.O. Box 164, Ellenburg Depot, NY 12935.
