In honor of Veterans Day, we proudly spotlight Mr. Bryan Cogar, a distinguished 1995 graduate of Hamilton High School who dedicated his life to serving our nation. Bryan embarked on an extraordinary career in the United States Marine Corps directly after high school, serving multiple tours overseas and achieving the prestigious rank of Master Sergeant. His unwavering commitment to duty and country exemplifies the core values of courage, honor, and service.
Following his retirement from active duty, Bryan found a new way to continue giving backâright here at home. He now works part-time as a custodian at Bentheim Elementary, where he embraces his role in supporting the Hamilton Community Schools family. His daily presence and dedication help ensure that students and staff have a clean, welcoming environment in which to learn and grow.
Bryan's transition from a career in the military to a role within Hamilton Community Schools reflects his enduring commitment to serving others. After spending decades giving back to his country, he is now giving back to his community, embodying the spirit of service and resilience that characterizes both his military career and his ongoing role at Bentheim Elementary. Bryan's impact is felt not only in the halls of our schools but also in the hearts of all who know him.
Thank you, Master Sergeant Bryan Cogar, for your sacrifice, your service, and your continued commitment to our community. You are an inspiration to us all.
