This summer a group of faculty and a parent met to further develop the character education program.  Research told us that successful character education programs have a common language.  The VHECH Promise is our common language.  It is recited daily at school and at school functions.  This is a statement about what we believe and how we will act. 

     As a person of character I promise to...

                    Pursue excellence,

                    Respect myself and others,

                    Offer compassion,

                    Make wise choices,

                    Include everyone,

                    Strive to meet goals, and

                    Encourage success.
