Thank You

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy 4th! We are gearing up for our final days of school! I want to thank all our students, their families and our dedicated teachers for a very successful year.

 

Scholarships

The Scholarship Committee has awarded scholarships for next year. We hope that this will ease finances for some. We had much less money to award this year than in years past. All scholarships are need based.

 

Final Exams

Congratulations!

We want to honor our Valedictorian, Andy Terrell and our Salutatorian, Chris Schubert. These two young men have worked so diligently and achieved at the highest level.  We are honored to have had them be a part of our Vanguard family!
