Students are assigned a WEB Leader as a mentor during this orientation process and throughout their first year. WEB Leaders are responsible older students who were hand selected from a large pool of applicants and have met the qualifications of being a good role model and a positive leader in our school.   This year 140 incoming 7th grade students participated in the 7th grade orientation. Led by a group of 32 trained junior and senior leaders, the 7th graders learned all about the opportunities that were waiting for them at Virginia High School. They learned about their classmates, their teachers, and what to expect as a high school student. The sole purpose of this nationally recognized program is to help incoming seventh graders feel more comfortable as well as help them achieve success in their first year of high school at Virginia.   It was a great day capped off with a BBQ that brought the 7th grade teachers, students, and parents together. We can't wait to see what great successes these students have over the course of the school year. Welcome VHS class of 2025!!
