July 14
July 14 (Quatorze juillet) is the National Holiday in France commemorating the “Storming of the Bastille.” Much like the Fourth of July in America, Bastille Day — known in France as la Fête nationale — is celebrated by nationwide festivities including fireworks, parades and parties.
Attendees will see France’s tricolor flag, hear the French motto Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité (“liberty, equality and fraternity”) and break into singing La Marseillaise, all popular symbols of France that had their origins in the heady days of the French Revolution.
Likewise, our traditions and mission unify the HVCC community. We have cause to celebrate our accomplishments, we are immersed in our culture of assessment, and possess the desire to continually improve upon our endeavors.
