IN THE NEWS

LifeChangers Nominees Honored

We all know teachers and school employees who inspire us and go above and beyond for their students. They could be a physical education teacher who started a nonprofit to teach students about art and music, an administrator who visits the homes of students in need, or a maintenance worker who fundraises for school programs. They may have done something as simple as listening when a student needed to be heard or as significant as helping a student find their voice in student government or the boarding program or achieve their goal of graduating on time. These educators and school employees are LifeChangers.

Athletics Calendar

We are now using Arbiter as our Athletics Calendar as part of an initiative by the VPA. For this reason, athletic events no longer appear on the school calendar on the website. They can be accessed through the Athletics Calendar on the website or you can bookmark this link for the most up-to-date Hilltopper game and practice times and final scores.
