Prince William County Schools salutes veterans

Prince William County Public Schools salutes our nation’s heroes on Veterans Day, November 11.

On behalf of the entire School Division community, we extend a special thank you to the many men and women in our School Division family who have served, or are currently serving, in the armed forces for the contributions they make to keep our nation safe and secure.

Veterans Day is observed on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I.

On November 11, at 11 a.m. the PWCS community is encouraged to honor and remember the great sacrifices and contributions of the heroic men and women of the United States Armed Forces who valiantly served this nation and humanity during World War I and subsequent wars in defense of liberty.

The Armistice, which halted the fighting during World War I, was signed on November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m., known as “the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.”

All schools and administrative offices will be closed on Monday, November 11 in observance of the Veterans Day holiday.
