A Great Year! Thank You Class of 2018!
It’s been a terrific year at Voyager Academy High School. As Dr. Nolan mentioned at the Senior Breakfast, the Seniors set the tone by serving as great role models for the underclassmen. We have much to celebrate about their accomplishments. Next year they are studying in Peru, enlisting in the U.S. Air Force, attending college on athletic scholarships, (smartly) attending community college with plans for a bachelors’ degree or industry certification, and much more! They have set a high bar, but we are sure that the class of 2019 will meet that challenge. To the class of 2018--THANK YOU!

An Important Message About Student Health
As you may or may not be aware, “vaping” and/or "juuling"(the use of E-cigarettes) has become an unhealthy trend among children and young adults, from middle through high school nationwide. As the safety and health of our students is a top priority at VAHS, all students received a presentation on Feb. 13th about the effects of this unhealthy activity, as well as the Voyager Academy consequences.
To see the presentation that the students received, please click here. Parents/guardians are encouraged to reinforce this very important message at home.
As always, thank you so much for your continued support.
