War Veteran Recieves Diploma

Diploma for Korean War Veteran

At the January 17, 2008 Board of Education meeting, long-time District 211 resident William A. Miotke was presented a Chicago Public Schools’ Korean Conflict Veteran High School Diploma.  Illinois law requires that any diploma awarded to a veteran be from the high school in which they were last enrolled.  Mr. Miotke had his education at Taft High School interrupted in order to serve our country in the military.  He also was recognized for his years of service in the military with a plaque from the Board of Education.
