#TeamCISD remembers and honors this Patriot Day.

Twenty-five years ago, our nation was forever changed. Each September 11, our country observes Patriot Day, a national day of remembrance honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and recognizing the courage and sacrifice of first responders and all those who answered the call to serve.

Today, Clifton ISD joins communities across our nation in remembering those we lost, honoring those who served and reflecting on the courage, service and compassion shown in the days that followed.

As we teach the next generation the significance of September 11, may we continue to honor its legacy by caring for one another, serving others and remembering the importance of being great together.
