Thank You To All For Another Wonderful Senior Breakfast Awards Ceremony

VAHS thanks all parents/guardians who helped provide for our Senior Breakfast Awards Ceremony on Thursday, May 1st. Many Seniors were honored for their accomplishments in class both for academic performance and character.  It was wonderful to see all seniors and their families together in the gym to enjoy the event. The Senior Breakfast was followed by the traditional parade around the pond as seniors were cheered on by Voyager Academy K-8 students.



VAHS Students’ Outstanding Performance On The National Spanish Exam

Please congratulate Alex Wilder, Alaina Bustillo, Kayla Combs, and Aidan Daly for their outstanding performance on the National Spanish Exam. Alex and Alaina received honorable mention citations, even though they were testing at a level higher than the classes Voyager has offered in the past. (Next Fall we are offering AP Spanish Language and Culture.) Kayla has received the silver award for outstanding performance on the Level 4 exam, and Aidan Daly has been honored with gold status at Level 4.  Congratulations! / ¡Felicidades!
