Back in 1939 when HVRHS opened, the school seal that is above the doors to the school in the main vestibule depicts the facade of the school with mountains in the background and a clock in the cupola.

So after 85 years a clock now resides in the cupola as the architect had envisioned. Credit: Jeffrey A Lloyd...
HVRHS Alumni Association Digitizes all White Oak Yearbooks
The HVRHS Alumni Association has just completed its project to digitize, and make publicly available, the school’s White Oak yearbooks. This was a collaboration with the Digital Technology Center at the Hartford Public Library; a state-of-the-art digital technology center serving archival initiatives throughout the State of Connecticut.
HVRHS yearbooks, beginning with the Class of 1941 to the present, are available on the Association’s website at: www.hvrhsalumni.org . In addition to all the annual class yearbooks, there are special editions commemorating the 50 th (1939-1989) and 75 th (1939-2014) anniversaries of the school’s founding. Check it out at HVRHSALUMNI.ORG
