Class of 2024 Honored During Senior Chapel

Several members of the Senior Class were recognized for their contributions to the school and our greater community.

Valedictorian & Joshua Award

Isaac States is the Valedictorian for the Class of 2024 and this year’s winner of The Joshua Award. That award is given to the student who has most consistently display positive participation and leadership in the classroom and at school functions and activities. The award recognizes exemplary Christian leadership. In a sense, the Joshua Award is the highest honor a VCA High School student can receive. Isaac is now heading to Colorado to join the United States Air Force Academy.
