Westside High School

Earlier today, WHS Air Force JROTC cadets visited local cemeteries near our school to place American flags at the gravesites of veterans.

What a meaningful way to honor those who served our country and remember the sacrifices they made for our freedom.

To all veterans, thank you for your service!

Jeremy McHalffey, Arkansas State student in the Education Program, spoke with Mr. Miller's U.S. History Class on Veterans' Day.

McHalffey served in the United States Army from 2006 to 2024 as a Combat Engineer, retiring as a Staff Sergeant.

He shared with Westside History students some of his experiences during his deployments, and spoke about the importance of supporting veterans and their mental health.

Thank you Mr. McHalffey for your service!

This Veterans Day, we proudly recognize and thank the members of our Westside family who have served our country!
