Hampton Roads Academy

Margot Mellette didn’t know what to expect when she went to visit Hospice House as research for an eighth-grade term paper.Where some might expect sorrow, she found a bright place full of love. She was inspired to return, so much so that she organized a group of friends to form the Hospice Teen Outreach. Now, as the Hampton Roads Academy graduate prepares to leave for Yale in August, she will be leaving behind an outreach organization that boasts around 20 teenage volunteers.
