WHOLE-CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Thank you for joining us at VCP for Senior Graduation Requirements Night. Senior year is both a celebration and a busy season for our students and families.. Your presence and partnership reflect the shared commitment we have to ensuring every Wildcat finishes high school strong.
Finishing strong is about more than earning a diploma. It is about preparing our seniors to live inspired and purposeful lives. We will continue to communicate important deadlines and updates as we move toward graduation.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure the Class of 2026 closes out their high school journey with excellence.

Inclement Weather Day Make-Up: February 16th
Given the recent inclement weather storm in Nashville, Valor needs to make up one school day. Valor had five built in inclement weather days coming into the school year and given the six days missed, we need to make up a day. To make-up for this day, we are aligning with MNPS and having school with our students on Monday, February 16th in lieu of previously planned professional development with our staff.
If you are curious for more information about the calendar and why Valor needs to make up a day, please reach out to Valor’s Managing Director of Schools, Jamie Gutter at jgutter@valorcollegiate.org. He would be happy to explain!
26-27 Calendar
We have our Spanish and Arabic versions of our 26-27 school year calendar. You can find all links below. As we’ve shared, we’ll republish our calendars once our internal dates have been finalized in the coming weeks.
