HAPPY VALLEY: THE SCHOOL

The Happy Valley School Legacy Project is dedicated to gathering and sharing as much information as we can about the history of Happy Valley School. While most of the articles and photos on the site relate somehow to the school, this page will focus specifically on the school, including events, photos, and other information that highlight the spirit of Happy Valley.
