HVC offers so many activities and opportunities outside of our normal class offerings.  We believe that these outside opportunities not only foster learning, but creates strong bonds among our students.

​

Each year, teachers and parents organize several fantastic field trips for our students.  Past field trips have included visits to:

• New York City, where students saw Broadway shows, went on walking tours, and visited museums,

• Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where students explored the history of the Civil War,

• Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where students learned about the history of America's founding,

• Boston, Massachusetts, where students walked the Freedom Trail and toured foundational historical sites,

• Wood's Hole, Massachusetts, where students enjoyed beautiful Cape Cod,

• Six Flags Great Escape, for a day of bonding and fun.

​​

There are also many social and academic events to participate in year-round, such as:

• Science Fairs

• School Dances

• Talent Shows

• Prom

• Graduation

​

We also are very proud of our Mock Trial and Science Olympiad Teams!  Our Mock Trial team won the Albany County Championship 3 years in a row (2014-2016), and our Science Olympiad Division B Team has competed in the State Competition for the past 3 years (2015-2017).

​

All of these opportunities are made possible through the hard work and dedication of our wonderful teachers, parents, and students.
