Nease High School has been celebrating veterans in several different ways:

Freshman students, through their English classes, wrote and created holiday cards to send to veterans in the VA Hospital during the holidays.

Sophomore students, through their social studies classes, recognized family members who are/were in the military through pictures and stories which were posted in the cafeteria. Junior students attended an assembly where Ms. Amy Vasquez, mother of Corporal Joshua Watkins, spoke to students about our responsibility to veterans and about Joshua's time at Nease High School. Corporal Watkins was a graduate of Nease and was killed in action in Iraq.

Senior students, through their English classes, read an article from Newsweek, which included letters from soldiers who were killed in action and their stories. Once they read the article, the seniors wrote letters to soldiers in the field.
