Vic Hall’s Gretna legacy and the sports reading room preserve dated achievements. Records are reported as their sources describe them; an old mark is not labeled an unbeaten current record without checking the latest book.
Academic activities belong here too: VHSL also provides sources for esports, robotics, creative writing and scholastic bowl.
