As a society we must be able to admire ability, to support ability, to celebrate ability and to nurture ability. It must be as socially acceptable to support genius that is intellectual as it is to support genius that is athletic. - Michael Clay Thompson

This year our conference will be held virtually. The WVAGT is staging a conference of favorite lessons to share with others. It’s a time to connect, think, ponder, and maybe share a laugh or two. Check out the "Annual Conference' tab for more information.
