Crooked Billet Day

The Battle of Crooked Billet took place May 1, 1778 when American Patriots under the command of General John Lacey were attacked in the early morning hours by the British Redcoats, led by Lieutenant Colonel Ambercromby. The American troops had stopped on what is now school land to rest during their journey to deliver fresh food to troops at Valley Forge. Each year, students and staff dress in colonial attire and welcome our community partners to join in celebrating our schools rich history.
