On Wednesday, members of our Student Lighthouse Team from HCGC took part in a Veterans Day ceremony at the Memorial Flag Plaza outside the new Sultana Disaster Museum. The guest speaker was Rear Admiral Kertreck Brooks.

We are proud of these students and grateful to all of our veterans for their service to our country.

The new museum opens to the public this Saturday with a grand opening celebration!

Please join us and bring your kiddos! Make sure to stop by HCGC's table. We'll send you home with fun literacy activities! 💙📚🌎📚❤️
