Dublin Scioto High School’s US Veterans Round Table and sharing project received a DEF Grant submitted by DSHS teacher John Witt. Students shared stories of personal relatives or others who have served in our armed services. The deep dive into the ‘why’ behind the service helps bring life and a sense of connection to the history class Mr. Witt teaches.
