Although January marks the beginning of a new calendar year, it is only the halfway point of the school year. All the talk about resolutions and clean slates is nice, but the reality is that many high school students are feeling weighed down and stressed out by the things going on around them. Vertical Reality is our retreat for all grades (in February) that gives students a weekend to recharge mentally and reconnect spiritually so they're ready to take on the rest of the school year.
