Melrose High School freshman history students recently had an amazing opportunity to meet with veterans of several different wars, from World War II onward, as well as active duty servicemen and servicewomen as part of the “Veterans in the Classroom” program.

The students were responsible for interviewing the past and present members of the military and producing biographies of them.

Members of Melrose High School’s “Veterans Memory Project” also interviewed them to further document their life and experiences serving our nation. This program, done in collaboration with the City of Melrose Veterans Department and the Melrose Public Schools.

Melrose High School teacher Lisa Lord, Veterans Services Officer Ryan McLane, and Veterans Services Advisory Board Chair Bob Driscoll helped make the incredible intergenerational history lesson possible for the students.
