Annual Conference
WVAGT’s Annual Conference for the 2023-2024 school year was held on October 26. Check back in the fall of 2024 for next year’s conference details.
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
