On November 6, 2025, Acorn High School hosted a special tribute and program honoring our Veterans of all branches of service. The Acorn High School Student Council members gave each student in grades 5th – 12th, staff, Veterans and guests an American flag for the ceremony.
The program included the AHS Band and Choir performances under the direction of Acorn Schools’ Music Director Valerie Couch, of our National Anthem and United States Armed Forces Medley with the presentation of each military branch’s flag. Mr. Jerrall Strasner, ORSD Superintendent welcomed guests, students, and staff in attendance and emphasized the relevance and importance of honoring and recognizing those who served and serve to protect our freedoms.
The Acorn High School EAST Program, under leadership of Scott Bohlman and technical support from Makaila Goodner highlighted Veterans and their service in a slideshow presentation.
Special guest speaker Mayor Seth Smith, City of Mena shared a message of inspiration and pride for our service men and women, for our country and for our community.
