Hello Steve, Enjoy our Saints News! 
HEAD OF SCHOOL MUSING

I resonate with Students Shoulder-to-Shoulder’s mission – to inspire and support generations of ethical leaders, especially as their work supports our mission – “for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.” For us at VCHS, our Christian mission compels us to practice ‘love your neighbor,’ care for creation, and moral/ethical leadership rooted in Holy Scripture. 

 

This past summer, I was thrilled to have nine VCHS community members participate in one of Students Shoulder-to-Shoulder’s summer programs, including:

 

Carlos Chavez – Panama (Education & Environment)

Ms. Kasey Desmond – Panama (Education & Environment)

Mrs. Andrea Justkaitis – Peru (Conservation & Development)

Jeep Meynier – San Diego-Mexico Border (Immigration)

Angel Palacio – Costa Rica (Sea Turtle Conservation)

Daisy Palacio – Panama (Education & Environment)

Jesus Palacio – Costa Rica (Sea Turtle Conservation)

Jorge Sinaloa – Dartmouth (Sustainable Living)

Juliet Studness – New Orleans (Environmental Science)

 

These students and teachers are also looking forward to attending and participating in the annual Ethical Leadership Forum that will be held next month in Vail. 

 

With this week’s chapel, Seniors Daisy, Carlos, and Angel shared their summer overseas stories, including the impact their experiences had on their worldviews and lives. For VCHS students, it’s a perfect time to begin thinking about Summer 2023 plans, especially opportunities like service-learning and mission trips – experiences that stretch mind, body, and spirit for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.

Congratulations to Stefan Labenski '23

Who Attended the

Envision National Security Program

Upon receiving a nomination to apply, Stefan Labenski took the full opportunity including earning a scholarship toward the cost of the program, to participate in the Envision National Youth Leadership Forum's National Security Program. The

5 day initiative took place in Washington DC and students were hosted by University of of Maryland at College Park. Stefan comments on his experience:


"The highlight of my summer was attending Envision’s National Security Program in Washington DC. Besides seeing the monuments and famous national sites, I was able to hear from a number of amazing speakers including former CIA Chief of Disguise, Jonna Mendez, who is the real life Q from James Bond. My favorite part was meeting new people and working with them on a government simulation where we (barely) prevented war from breaking out in the world." 

Sophomore Parent Goes Above & Beyond



Shout out to Darrell Watters, Jack Watters' '25 father, for power washing all the gymnasium building windows this week!


The Watters family is new to VCHS but have wasted no time serving our community. 


Mr. Watters cleaned all the academic building windows during the All School Cleanup back in August.


Thank you Mr. Watters - we can see clearly now!
