It's not every day that high school students break with tradition to attend a school that prepares them to enter college after the 10th grade, but for this Woodbridge student, that's exactly the case. This year, Finley Crout was named to the Honor Roll at Bard Academy at Simon's Rock, the nation's first two-year high school for boarding and day students.

Crout's academic and personal achievements stood out, earning Finley a spot on the Honor Roll at Bard Academy this past fall. Finley will automatically matriculate into Bard College at Simon's Rock after 10th grade, establishing a clear path for continued intellectual engagement and success.
