Wayland is a small town about 15 miles west of Boston. Our high school enrolls about 850 students, 45 of who completed this project in the Spring of 2019. Teams of juniors in US history classes researched the lives and times of about 40 WWII vets, and eventually each student wrote about one of these vets, which are now published along with the primary sources we uncovered.
