Our Middle School, High School, and VTC Field Days were packed with high energy, teamwork, and plenty of smiles. Students rotated through a variety of outdoor games, cheering on their classmates and celebrating each win—big and small.

Meet Bill Hennessey, Chair of The Vanguard School and Services’ Board of Trustees — and proud Vanguard parent. For Bill, Vanguard’s mission is deeply personal.

...supporting individuals not only during their school years, but throughout adulthood. When asked to describe Vanguard in one word, Bill didn’t hesitate: “Caring — because I see it every time I’m on campus.”
