Vecpiebalga+Secondary+School

One of the Vecpiebalga Secondary School mascots - a kitten. It comes from Latvian fairytale "Kaķīša dzirnavas" (the Cat's mills), author of the fairytale is a writer Kārlis Skalbe who lived in Vecpiebalga many years of his life. Vecpiebalga Secondary School is located in the village of Vecpiebalga in the uplands of the Vidzeme region in the Baltic country of Latvia. Vecpiebalga is located about 60 miles from Latvia's capital Riga.



During Mr. Maddaus's visit to Vecpiebalga in August, he found the grounds of the school to be beautifully maintained.



The pastoral views in Vecpiebalga are peaceful and serene and remind me of New England.
