Belmont Hill Celebrates 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence
To commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, students took to the Chapel stage to perform a recitation of the nation’s founding document. The program began with History Department member Glenn Harvey providing a detailed depiction of the historical moment leading up to the declaration and the role Massachusetts played in the revolution. Decked out in tricorn hats and 18th century colonial coats, students across grade levels participated in the recitation on stage and on video in honor of the historic occasion.
