ACT Results from October 6 Test Date at Valor

If your student has still not received their results via email or mail from the ACT, please contact your student's Academic and College Counselor. You will be provided with the electronic score report and the information needed to link the student score to their ACT account.

Conservatory Showcase and Valor Vespers Changes

Given the recent notable rise in Douglas County COVID-19 cases and Valor's core desire to keep our students healthy and learning in-person, we have elected to make some changes to the Conservatory Showcase and Valor Vespers plans. The Conservatory Showcase will be rescheduled to January 21, 22, & 23 from 7:00-9:00 pm.

Likewise, we will limit Valor Vespers to one evening on Wednesday, December 2 at 7:00 pm, for parents of performers only. This will be a simple version of Vespers that will allow students to share the classwork that they have been working on. Highlights of this evening will also be performed in Chapel the same day. We will livestream performances of Valor Vespers and the Conservatory Showcase.
