It's time for THANKSGIVING

Honoring Our Heroes: Veterans Day 2025

This Veterans Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms inspire us all.

At Valor Christian Leadership Academy, we are especially grateful for the veterans in our community—whether family members, staff, or alumni—who remind us of the strength and service at the heart of our nation.

Thank you for your dedication. We salute you today and always.
