For the past 10 or more years, Corning High School has honored our local veterans at an assembly. It is one of my favorite assemblies and I look forward to it every year. Over the years, we’ve had various types of programs that include performances, music, video presentations and showcase our students’ appreciation to our military veterans. For the past two years, students from CMS have also joined CHS in honoring the men and women who have served in the armed forces. It is a humbling experience and one in which our students enjoy.
