"My experience in the Creative Writing Academy of the VPA has been wonderful. I cannot imagine my high school experience without the warmth and fun that Mrs. McDavitt's class brings to my days. I have learned  so much about the creative pipeline and furthered my horizons into writing far more than I would've if I chose to pursue writing without her guidance. She gets students excited about every genre and type of writing by giving us the room to integrate our interests and strengths into unfamiliar writing styles. She's an incredible teacher and her classroom is always a welcoming space." - SP '27
