Veterans Honorary High School Diploma

Good morning all,

If you are a Veteran of WWII, Korea, or Vietnam and were unable to get a High School diploma you may want to visit this site. You can access the Virginia Department of Education website by clicking on the title of this post or the following link. http://www.doe.virginia.gov/instruction/adulted/veterans/index.shtml

The request form is on the VDOE's website and a link is at the end of this post. Please read and pass on. Thanks

Veterans Honorary High School Diplomas recognize the life experiences of veterans who were unable to complete their high school education because of service in the armed forces during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Since the first honorary diplomas were issued in 2001, more than 1,000 have been awarded to veterans of the three wars. To obtain an honorary diploma, a veteran may submit a statement to the Virginia Department of Education describing his or her service, the location of the last school attended, and affirming that he or she was unable to complete high school upon return to civilian life. The guidelines also allow for the submission of information by family members and veterans’ organizations.
Veterans and others may request diplomas by using the Request for Veterans Honorary High School Diploma form. (.doc)
