Memorial Middle School to receive bronze plaque honoring six St. Joseph students killed in World War II
Summary
A committee member announced that a bronze plaque listing six former St. Joseph students who died in World War II will be presented to Memorial Middle School on May 21; Laredo ISD will produce the plaque.
Alfredo Agredamu told the Laredo veterans committee on May 13, 2025, that a bronze plaque honoring six students who attended St. Joseph School and were killed during World War II will be presented to Memorial Middle School at 9 a.m. on May 21.
The announcement matters as a local memorialization of community servicemembers and as an event connecting local schools and veterans organizations.
Agredamu said the plaque lists the six students who attended the earlier St. Joseph School campus and that the presentation will take place on May 21 at 9 a.m. When committee members asked how the event related to Memorial Day timing, Agredamu said the ceremony was scheduled on a different date because many people would be busy on Memorial Day itself. A committee member later added that Veronica Castillo from Laredo Independent School District told the committee that LISD will be responsible for making the plaque.
The committee received the announcement as informational; no vote or formal action was taken at the meeting.
