Town of North Andover, MA

Good morning all,


Please see and share Masconomet High School's Luncheon 11-12-2025:

“Good morning,

My name is London Gray, and I’m a senior at Masconomet Regional High School. This year, my DECA partner, Claudia Corsini, and I are focusing our DECA Community Awareness Project on honoring and highlighting veterans within our community.

As you may know, we hold a Memorial Day assembly each year. This year, we are excited to also host a Veterans Day Celebration on Wednesday, November 12th. The event will begin with a short program at 11:45 a.m. in the Auditorium (guests may arrive starting at 11:30 a.m.) and will last approximately 45 minutes. Following the ceremony, we will host a luncheon in the High School Library for all attending veterans and our DECA officers. We are looking for veterans willing to attend this event. We would really appreciate any sort of help.

If you or a veteran you know would like to share photos or stories during the event, please feel free to send them our way.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We would also appreciate it if you could fill out our interest form here:
