War veterans who attended school in the Austin Independent School District but did not earn a high school diploma as a result of their service to their country, were awarded a high school diploma from the district in a special ceremony.

AISD is awarding belated high school diplomas to veterans from the following wars:

• World War II

• was scheduled to graduate high school after 1940 and before 1975, or after 1989; and

AISD will award diplomas in a special veterans "graduation" ceremony as part of the district’s Veterans Day observance.
