The Wellington C. Mepham High School Class of 2026 has successfully installed its 11th Flag Field of Honor on Nov. 2, continuing a cherished school tradition that celebrates community and service.
The installation was part of the Senior Service Learning Project, a collaboration between the school and the Ronald McDonald House.
Led by social studies teachers Kerry Dennis and Chris Patten, along with department chairperson Robyn Einbinder, the project also involved the support of Superintendent Michael Harrington, Principal Anthony DeMartinis, and Mepham library media specialist Shari Stack. The school’s custodial staff played a key role in organizing supplies and ensuring safety throughout the event.
The Flag Field of Honor honors the service of local community members, with the display remaining on the front lawn of Mepham’s Camp Avenue campus through Dec. 8. The project also continues to support Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provides free accommodations and support to families with children receiving medical treatment.
Since its start in 2009, the Senior Service Learning Project has raised over $815,000 for various charitable organizations, thanks to the dedication of Mepham students, staff, and the broader community.
