Dear Parents, Grandparents and Guardians,
Welcome to the second semester of the 2014-2015 Academic year. Hargrave is off to a great start to its second semester both in and out of the classroom.
 | | Welcome to Hargrave! |
Hargrave matriculated many new faces on Saturday. For our new families, welcome to Hargrave! Hargrave has been working hard to ensure your son's acclimation to our system of accountability and structure. If you have questions, or need assistance, at any time, please contact your son's TAC or their instructors. You can also contact SgtMaj. Mike Payne (USMC, Ret.), Hargrave Commandant, or Academic Dean Walter Sullivan (USA, Ret.).

In addition to our newest Cadets, Hargrave extends a welcome to Dr. Scott Snair. Dr. Snair joins Hargrave's distinguished mathematics department. He is West Point graduate, a management specialist, published author and a master at mathematics. He earned his Ph.D. at Seton Hall University. He is a highly experienced educator. He is a great addition to Hargrave's mathematics department. Coach Lawrence Robinson was our guest speaker in chapel on Tuesday. Coach Robinson provided a testimonial on race and race relations in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which was missed on Monday due to semester break. It was a great message for an important American topic. Sincerely,

On Saturday January 17, 2015, the CIS Robotics team headed to Triangle, Virginia for a State Qualification Skills Challenge. The team had worked hard since the start of the school year, and they finally had a chance to run their robots in an competitive environment.
"This was the first time many of them had competed in any organized event and the butterflies in their stomachs were quite large," CPT Richard Arena, the team sponsor, said. "Cadets Yuhan Yang and Ashton Burton gave us our highest score of the day, while Cadets Willard Grigsby, Najir Anthony and Liam Rafizadeh were close behind. Although they did not win any awards we are currently waiting to see if they will be invited to the Virginia State Championship."
