  11/18/2020
  by By Mrs. Jill Qualters, Mrs. Amy Wight, and Ms. Taria Conley, Guidance Counseling Department
   

  The tension last spring was palpable. Parents all over the world were trying to navigate a mind-numbing array of online tools, apps, video-conferencing platforms, e-books, and free software. Schools were trying, on a space-race era timeline, to provide the best instruction they could in the face of a pandemic. Students were quickly and unceremoniously yanked from daily routines and told to quickly move to their dining room tables and log in to Zoom.

  Fun Fact #1. Dolphins swim in pods. “[They] are social mammals that interact with one another, swim together, protect each other, and hunt for food as a team. Most pods contain anywhere from 2 – 30 dolphins depending on the species and the situation, however there are occasions when pods gather with other pods to form superpods of 100 or even several thousand dolphins!”

  Class of 2020: Michael Russo

  8/14/2020
  by Mrs. Leigh Anne Clay, Upper School Journalism and Middle School English
  Even before he walked into my Journalism class at the beginning of his junior year, Michael Russo had an impressive reputation as an exceptional student, an accomplished musician, a talented writer, and a compassionate friend.  Since then, I have watched in awe as he has added countless experiences to his long list of accomplishments: peer leader, yearbook editor, newspaper editor, actor, performer, student director, and public speaker.  As a CHC legend, he has such fond memories of Lower School, especially Ms. Lechler’s 3rd grade class and Mrs. Thornton’s 5th grade class. Throughout Middle and Upper School, Michael has taken advantage of every opportunity afforded to him - creating even more along his journey. I am simply amazed how he finds the time to practice and perform with the Bay Youth Orchestra, participate in school musical performances and drama productions, all while maintaining a 4.0+ GPA with all advanced and AP classes.

  7/30/2020
  by Ms. Raven Baytops, College Counseling
  Robert "Robbie" Escalera joined Cape Henry this past year for his senior year. While others may struggle to join a new environment where people have known each other for the last four years, Robbie quickly assimilated into our community. His proactive and positive attitude helped him connect with teachers, peers, and create a memorable final year of high school. While looking toward his next chapter, Robbie's advice to his brothers is to get out of their comfort zone early in high school by trying new sports or clubs and don't hold back.

  by Mr. Jonathan Torch, Upper School Mathematics/Engineering
  Grayson Barnes, class of 2020 CHC graduate, will be attending JMU this fall. Grayson was also accepted to The George Washington University, Fordham University, and The University of Miami. However, given our current pandemic situation and also being undecided on a specific university, Grayson has decided to attend college one year in-state at JMU and afterwards to reconsider his college choice. Grayson is looking forward to assuming the responsibilities that come with being a university student. He is excited to take on new challenges, while balancing his personal interest in classical piano. As an educator, it amazes me to see such mature decisions and great role models coming from our youth.

  There are superheroes amongst us. They don’t necessarily wear capes or have secret identities. They don’t have fancy costumes or even x-ray vision. Instead, they quietly go about making the world a better place.

  Class of 2020: Yezi Liu

  7/17/2020
  by Ms. Ling Xie, Chief Financial Officer
  Gaokao is China’s National College Entrance Examination and can often make or break a student’s chance at getting in to a Chinese university. This is also one of the main reasons why Yezi (Liz) Liu chose to study aboard and arrived in her sophomore year at Cape Henry Collegiate from China. She wanted to explore the option of “test-flexible policies” instead of relying heavily on a score from one exam as well as to become a better-rounded student.
