In years past our local high school has honored graduates entering the military at graduation ceremony. The last 2 years they have not and I am considering contacting the school administration to ask why. Does your school honor graduates entering the military?

I don't know if you want to say honor. Typically, with graduates my HS would announce the graduate and what college they would be attending. With military they would announce the graduate and what military branch they were going to. At my graduation they actually let my recruiter get up and speak as we had 3 of us going into the Corps and 1 in to the Air Force.

About the same here. Honor is held to the individual in the crowd and I don't see anyone stepping up to knock the Forces lest they be disappeared during the dance. :)

No, they don't.
But, I do. As the JROTC Senior Army Instructor, I ensure not only do I recognize all those who win military scholarships, but I also read a list of every senior who has already enlisted and have them all stand to be recognized as our senior awards ceremony, and I thank them.
We generally have about 10 (ROTC and Military Academy) and 35 (Enlisted), out of a HS population of 1500.
